Lets see how much CSX models cost in a few months. Everybody seems to be charging $5.00, maybe it really is 5.00.

Have a look on Walthers website.

I see nothing from Athearn in UP livery that's more expensive than the same gondola in BN livery
Part# 1644 UP
part# 1655 BN

Both are $7.25 from Walthers.

Ummmm, maybe that's because Athearn has decided not to take part in the Licensing program??
Walthers is just a re-seller at this point, not a munufacturer, exempt from the program.
