All the way back in October of 2019, I mentioned that Fx Bricks was working on bringing back 9V compatible rails and motors for LEGO train fans. Well the wait is almost over. Watch this:

On 1 March 2021, Fx Bricks will be releasing some straight and some curved 9V compatible track. YES! I look forward to ending using batteries and just letting the trains run when I want them to run. I hope their proposed motor works out too. If you need more details or want some other opinions, check out the following:

Pricing is listed as follows:

#8832 - S32 Straight Track, 8 pcs : $69.95 USD, €57.95, $87.95 CAD

#8872 - R72 Curve Track, 8 pcs: $69.95 USD, €57.95, $87.95 CAD

Fx Bricks mentions that this is cheaper than you can get it at BrickLink right now. I agree with that. I also acknowledge that they need to recoup all of their costs and want to make some profit too. It does seem a bit high to me, but with no competition, they can set their pricing at this point. Either way, I suspect they will sell out quick as there is a lot of demand among LEGO train fans for this system.

One other note is that they have partnered with JB Spielwaren in Germany to sell the track to the EU. So shipping will be a lot cheaper in Europe versus having to order from Canada.

Congrats to the Fx Bricks team. I hope the product is awesome and the launch is successful. At some point, I will look to pick up some track to expand my very limited 9V set up.

What are your thoughts?

Happy building!
