I'll be happy if they come out with some decent looking 6 (or 8) wide trains
that actually look like trains... The 4559 was a joke, the 4561 isn't much
better. Bring back trains like the Load 'n' Haul or the Freight Rail Runner -
they actually looked like real trains. Heck, make versions of any number of
the 'moc' locomotives out there - most of them are better than anything Lego
has made!
And if Lego surprises us with some 'serious' accessories (remote controls,
larger radius curves, dcc) then I'll just be even more happy!
