Rob, thanks for the tip. I just ordered the M2-c, as-built version. These are BEAUTIFUL models, folks - even the class lights work, removable coal load, etc. But these features were no doubt added mostly to justify a ground-breaking price for small steam; $1,100 - $1,200 when first introduced. Its pretty obvious that most potential customers felt as I did; I wouldn't pay articulated prices for small steam even if I could have afforded it. I know for a fact that a number of dealers chose not to stock these models because they didn't think they could sell them at such prices. There's a dealer unloading these models on E-Bay as well; I've monitored the auctions but dropped out at $599 (they've sold typically in the low-$600s) so Caboose was $4 under my maximum. I believe that the fellow on E-Bay got a deal directly from PSC on their inventory. Maybe this is so for The Caboose as well, or maybe PSC took back some money to help them out?
