I don't think LEGO Trains will ever have a large following like Star Wars.
But I think LEGO should still let hobby shops like H & R Trains, sell the all
of the train stuff and the sets that work well with them. H & R Trains sells
allot of the other toy train brands like Playmobil. And LEGO should be there
too.
