I do not think LEGO will be switching rail style or the voltage (the gauge is the
same). While the switch in voltage is confusing, the switch in rail style makes
alot of sense. I have a 12V train and a couple of 9V trains. The 12V trains are
frustrating because if the trains and the track sit for more than a day you have
to clean the the contacts on the train and the rails. While part of my problem is
that my European 12V trains run at 9V I am reasonable certain that everyone faces
a similar problem with their 12V trains. On the other hand, the 9V trains always
run great. Cleaning the track and the wheels only helps a little. (We all just
wish some of the 12V accessories would make it to the 9V line.)
