Those three sets are not the whole line: there are still 4560/4561, 4541, 4556
and 4557. And discontinued sets make room for new sets.
Lots of people where waiting for improved points (better geometry or remote
controlled), after they got to know the discontinueing story. That hope might
be gone now.....

personally I would doubt it and do not see the need for it. But that's just my
2 pennies...

Jake McKee gave a hint on possible new train releases

I have lots of spares out of 3 copies of each 4559, 4564 and 4563 and each over
25 copies of 3225 and 2126.
So if the train line should die in 2001 I will survive it without getting in
too much trouble. ;-)
Be prepared!
