I have not found anyone with information on the yellow Duplo trians.

I have not seen anyone sell these trains on bricklink.

And now Lego.com actually appears to be minimizing the Duplo kits
available.
Has anyone else noticed this? They only offer 3 recent Thomas kits,
the Duplo
castle and Fire/Police kits are gone. The deluxe train kit is gone.
Maybe it
is US only?

Am I the only one with a kid that likes these Duplo trains? Crazy.
