We in the US have not had any trains for at least a year now. The parts are still there such as the wheels and couplers but I have to wonder how long even those will be available. I really hope playmobil does not scrap this theme altogether and they are only taking a break from it.

Being more on the expensive side of PM, they probably don't sell very well.
And if it doesn't sell well, to the axing block it goes.

Perhaps children are not very interested in trains like we are interested in... I mean lets face it, people drive their own cars now, or they need to get somewhere quickly they get a plane... I may be wrong...

I've never even seen a passenger train in my life, except airport shuttles and ride trains at zoos or theme parks, and not that many freight trains. At least in the area I live, it isn't something kids can relate to anymore.

Bonnie is right

to me it seems they're dissapearing - i hope to be wrong though, i love trains (i have 3 myself :))
but they're pricey indeed and it seems PM is making less expensive sets everyday (and themes with fewer sets than in the past decade)
