Why no new PM Trains?
« on: December 03, 2011, 01:02:41 »
I'm somewhat to new to PM trains, just recently bought 4010 in E-bay. I wonder why PM has not released any new trains the last couple of years... Any ideas?

I think they didn't sell well and the recession made matters worse.  :'(

Yes, price was a problem and in the UK there were problems with RC frequencies or something of that sort.

There were some rumors at klickywelt that there'll be new train-related sets in the second half of 2012 but no further information about what they'll contain or look like. In 5 or 6 weeks we'll know more...

I am sure trains will make a glorious comeback. Trains will always be a popular toy and playmobil has created some magnificnet sets like the 4052 and western train !!!

It would be very nice if there were.

i love the 4034 set. in fact i bought one from italy at 450 euros. so i hope i didn't lose my money, if they decide to open a new production line. in any case, they are bautiful, especially in a diorama. i prefer those electical though. May be my age....

450Eu sounds quite a lot. Hope it was new at least. I'm building a transportation theme with airport and harbor so the train was a must  ;D

450 is a lot indeed . A very good complete set in box should go for 300-350 tops i reckon. 450 is a bit pricey .... :o :o :o :o :o :o
