Over the past few years, I have asked Ron about rerunning the AM Lightweight 
Passenger Cars.  He indicated that the cost to remold is too high and didn't 
show much encouragement or enthusiasm about a rerun.  That might explain the 
price on ebay.  I think they originally sold for around $40....complete!  I 
think the lack of interest with the Flyer guys is the inability for the longer 
cars to negociate an AF switch.  They probably do OK with SHS turnouts.
