I'll second that; especially the "Pricey" part.
Does it bother anyone else that we're looking at $900 steamers,$400 diesels,$200 dummies, and $80 cars? These are, after all, geared toward the "toy train" market as much, if not more than, the scale field. If we scalers want one, we're basically paying (top dollar) for a starting point, from which we must then find and purchase additional items just to bring it up to an Athearn "Blue Box" standard. I thought the idea of taking our manufacturing abroad was to make things more affordable, as "it costs too much to make things in the USA anymore".... Mind you, if there's a market for these expensive toys, then that's great, but I for one just don't get it....
