I'm hoping for the non-checkrail version. It's not a dealbreaker, but on top of the color change from regular 9V (since I'm not ready to stock up on RC, just to add the new stuff to the old and switch the motors), the transition to checkrail track (...)

Thanks for digging up that picture! Now we know how it's supposed to be used. I'm betting this is going to rock!!! Myself? I'll probably just go for lots of 2x2 gray tiles under the track. Can't wait for the new track pieces!!! -Stefan- (16 years ago, 13-Mar-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
