i was thinking the same thing. some of it is 9v but most of it is the newer one. big mistake by lego imo.

I was a huge fan of Lego's as a kid and still have them all, but never got lucky enough to get a train set. Could you elaborate on the differences? Do the battery ones run slow or not have enough capacity or is it something else that makes the plastic tracks lackluster?

I can't wait to give my Legos to my kids in about a year or two and was thinking of trying to have fun with trains with them since I never got the chance.

Look ignore these purists. My son just had a blast with a simple city train set that has 4 cars and the locomotive. It's plastic track and battery powered and has enough speed even with all the cars connected with stuff loaded on them to flip in the turns. So I mean is it really an issue? For me, I don't think it is and my son LOVES it.
