Its got nothing to do with SP. The 2-8-0 is a new-in-box model produced less than a year ago by a spare-no-expense importer. Uncle Dave is a dealer in new brass (whose auction stuff usually goes unsold - I do not believe E-Bay is an effective market for new brass, but that's a different story). The dealer cost on this model was probably about $800. Dealer cost on same model ten years ago would have been half that. The Sunset model was, IIRC, from their "economy" series and is being offered probably for what it cost when new. Its hard for me to see how the "new" brass market can survive as prices have gone so high - and continue to rise well beyond inflation rate.
