Thanks, thought I was having a full brain cramp trying to figure it out.  I see the nearest store to my house is 63 miles.  Unless you can convince me the trip is worthwhile, I'll let you enjoy the place to yourself.

Either I'm having an extreme senior moment or a total brain cramp. What is OSH?

I amazed you even found an OSH with a Bachmann set...not surprised they still were asking full retail up till the end, guess they discounted it as they didnt want to store it for still another year...

I  knew this would happen.  Before Christmas the last of the two sets that they had on the shelf (the sets from the prior year) were going for $230.00.  I stopped in on friday and the last one was marked down to $115.00.  I almost bought it but out of spite and the fact that I already bought the same set the Christmas before last for $230.00 common sense prevailed and I walked away three times.

If you buy the one at $115.00 through cost averaging you end up paying $172.50 apiece.
