That's how I read it!
So, a 20188 is 188mm, same as 24188, and 20172 is 172mm, same as 24172.

I presume the only difference is the packaging (small blister packs in the pocket money range, optimized for self-service). It seems they introduce a new cable system, so we get a new My World turnout motor, a new My World rail road crossing, and new My World control boxes. Apart from the plugs it's ordinary C track. |

I just hope we can get some extra value (read: discount) from the whole "My world" relaunch.

A 50-Euro-Märklin-starter-set, imagine that!  I don't think that tracks in packs of three or four pieces will be cheaper than the old six-packs and ten-packs. Locos and rolling stock seem to have the old packaging with a new design. |
