No, no new geometry.
No, there will be no large wheels for steam trains. In fact, scrap the wheels

Latest (maybe to read ironic) spculation abaout coming Lego trains as posted
on www.1000steine.de/forum/ (free translated by me):

**************************************************************

Certainly there will be battle-engines! The "Evil-Engines" and the
"Alpha-Trains".

The "Evil-Engines" want to overtake the world leadership, and in their waggons
there are deadly mecha-arms which can be pulled out for fiery attacks!

The Alpha Trains try to avoid this as one can imagine and thus they have
Laser-weapons and eloctro-magnetic-shockwaves to electriefy the track.

Mayby there is some additionally "Speed-Slammer-High-Speed-Fight&Crush-ICE"???
Seems to be possible....

<snip valid comments about LEGO falling into the violent toys slippery slope.>

Very funny post. It reminded me of what I saw in the S@H catalog concerning the
LEGO soccer game. The catalog referred to one of the teams as the bad guys, or
the evil team. I cannot remember which. Bringing my ramblings back on target...

Oooh, we can use slammer technology to really make our train wrecks spectacular.
That had not occurred to me before!
