Actually you can find the BLI Class A for $399 if you look. The price of articulated engines is higher because of increased tooling cost involved with two set of drivers. The problem with a less detailed engine is that the market is demanding a detailed engine, not the less detailed engines of the 1970's. Also, the cost of producing an engine in the USA is much higher due to labor cost. As an example, the cost in producing an auto in the US is about twice as high as over-seas. If you want a articulated under $200 then you need to look on eBay for the old Rivarossi stuff. <br />Eric
