Well after reading the replys here and doing some searching on the web I am really begining to wonder about this hobby. Sure looks to me like Athearn is trying to force prices to go up out there. All the online hobby shops I looked at have none of there stuff left in stock. One item I was looking for must be worth it's weight in gold now. Could not find a single BN 62' fuel tender. And another funny one. Was planning on buying a bombardier set of two coaches and a cab in the Trinity Regional Express scheme that runs between Dallas and Ft Worth TX. Not listed in the Athearn catalouge, or any of the hobby shops online except for one. Now who has any idea what is up with that one? I know when the release came out in Model Railroader that it was on of the paint schemes. Now is no where to be found except at the one hobby shop in FL had it listed as in stock. Personaly for all us modelers I think this is a pretty interesting subject. Compared to the last time I was heavily into HO trains it looks to me like I am either gonna have to be rich so I can preorder everything the minute I see info on it or else an Indianna Jones to find it after it has been released. Want one of the rerun 3985 Challengers and that is gonna be a hell of a lucky thing if I get one. And the release is not till June 2005. Hope I get a lot more replys on this one. Am starting to think after Athearn being one of my favorite sources for years, they won't be anymore.
