I think the worse thing lego could do is produce some 'limited editions' of
classic sets.
This generally equates to those sets that are rare and expensive on ebay like
4558.
Producing them in only limited editions would only maintain their expensive
position, and I could see many of them ending up unopened on collectors or
investors shelves.
I think most train heads desires would be much better serviced by having
better availability of a wider range of service packs that included windows,
doors and other bricks that are desirable by train builders. not just engines
and wheels. and as part of Lego Direct brick runs of course.
I cant see Lego being motivated much to produce new train sets, or reissue old
ones for that matter. The market is too small. Train looks too 'fiddly' in
comparison to juniorization trends. Train heads are enthusiastic, but a very
small part of the lego market.
