| (...) Changes... NONE!! I have too much invested in 9v trains to convert to RC and plastic track. It is my belief that who can say in the next few years that TLG won't switch to another train line. They have gone from pre-- to 4.5v, to 12v, 9v and (...) (18 years ago, 17-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)
