And thats at a discount house.

I was warned the price hikes were coming a couple months ago by my LHS. So track at Trainworld is now $5.33 a foot, when I started I was averaging $3.60 to $4 per foot. Glad I got all my track before it hit the fan. Its the rolling stock prices that got me, a bit of a jump there as well.

PS did you notice that the long promised standard gauge Consolidation was in that listing?

Based on the roadnames this HAS to be the same standard guage 1/29 connie Aristo has been promising for over 2 years now, Ridge Road Station had image mock ups on its website and it was discussed on MLS a while ago, the proto is supposedly a B&M standard gauge 2-8-0 road engine.

Go to Aristocraft's forum  and search on "consolidated". You can read all the chatter about it and see that Mr. Polk & Co. have been very elusive about when it will hit the shelves. According to Lewis in a thread early in 2007, seems it was "the next steam engine" due out after the GP40, the 66, and the C-16 all came out.  Well, they are all out now. So unless something has gotten fubar'd at the factory or they re-prioritized their new model schedule, the SG Connie ought to be next...?

The 40 and the 66 have been shipped. I havent seen the new C-16 anywhere. I want to see it.

The drastic increase in track prices is no doubt related to the cost of copper, a component of brass rail, which is at an all-time high.
