Body: <p>I just built the Maersk train, what an amazing model! I did a little research and found that it was released in 2011 and the Emerald Night was released in 2009. Given the two year gap it seems reasonable to assume there will be new train in 2013. Does Lego have a schedule or patterns for this kind of thing?</p>

Comments.Text: As much as I would like to know the answer, I don't think this is a good question - purely speculative, will be obsolete by 2013, and there is basically no way you'd get an authoritative answer as LEGO would make sure to protect this kind of information as long as possible.

  With the exception of evergreen themes like CITY and Duplo, it's not easy to predict when sets are released. Based on trends of the last 11 years, I've included the last 20 train sets that have been released in a table:

  At least one train set has been released each year apart from the year 2008. The table marks an average of 1.66 train sets per year. It's fair to assume that a new train set will be released in 2012 or 2013.
