Lego have been releasing train sets for decades and it is one of their most favorite non-franchise based lines. The first train Lego released had commonplace wheels and no track. That was way back in 1965 and a year later they realised the popularity of toys trains in Lego format and released other train set, this time with track and a battery powered motor.
Since that time Trains have been a standby for Lego and a necessary part of any Lego city. From 4.5V battery motors came the 12 volt powered electric trains in 1969, the year of the moon landing, and Lego haven't looked back since. In 1991 the introduced a 9 volt principles which lasted until 2006 when the current remote operate era came into effect.

From 2006 to 2009 Lego train releases were controlled by using a wireless handheld controller which controls a motor in the engine. Using infrared communication and batteries in the motor the train was controlled nearby the track but the principles lacked functions and power and proved unpopular with many fans.
In 2010 Lego are releasing their latest range of remote controlled trains, but this time the remote operate makes use of the victorious Lego Power Functions (Pf) formula of automation. The first two trains to use this formula are set 7938 Passenger Train and 7939 Cargo Train, furthering Lego's tradition of contribution both cargo and express trains together.
Lego is also introducing flexible track, pieces of track that can be bent indifferent arcs depending on the track layout requirements. A Train center 7937 is also set for issue this year which will please many train fans as well as a level crossing, sadly missing for the last few years.
The 2010 trains from Lego will be worth hunting down and adding to any city Lego layout to converyance minifigs in style.
