I recall that for the 9V line, it has primarily been such that both a
Freight and a Passenger set has been available at all times.

Of course, the 4559 was supposed to be both, but that is another issue.

The 4565 is due to be retired after this year, which means that we should
see a new Freight Train take its place.

The reason for the alternating pattern of freight/passenger is that their
shelf lives overlap.  This means one new train every year and a half.

Hi,

Is this a possible pattern I've noticed about the 9V train sets?

Based on information in Lugnet's set database:

4563 Load N' Haul Railway 1992
4558 Metroliner 1992
4564 Freight Rail Runner 1995
4559 Cargo Railway 1996
4565 Freight & Crane Railway 1996
4561 Railway Express 1999

Although this is an arbitrary arrangement, these sets alternate between
freight trains and passenger trains.  (Or, few minifigs - many minifigs - • few
minifigs - many minifigs, etc)

So does that mean the next release will be freight-oriented?

Bryan
