For starters, higher prices are good to an extent. When things cost very little we don't appreciate them. When things cost more we make better decisions before buying and we appreciate things better. Sometimes, I wish my $10 that I take with me to the hobby shop would buy 3 or 4 kits instead of just 1, but I have found out that the 1 car I do buy is the car that I really wanted and I learn to really appreciate it a lot more. I want to mention that I am saying all of this while at the same time being a beginner to model railroading who has to pay high prices for the things I want. It doesn't bother me to pay higher prices. If I don't like the prices of something then I just won't buy it. I use a variety of stuff on my layout, I'll use anything from Walthers $30.00 engines up to Kato or Atlas engines that cost $150.00. I think Athearn is really great and I am very happy that they're continuing to produce their kits.
