Hello All, I have been looking at all the prices in the new Walthers Flyer recently. And have come to the conclusion that if I am going to stay in the hobby, I am going to have to take up scratchbuilding and scavange for used parts or something becasue it seems like Walthers is hell bent on forcing me out of the hobby. Who over there decided that their A,B F3 set is worth $165.00? The shells are only slightly better than old Athearn Blue Box F-7s. (They have "glass" in the windshilds and a correctly shaped nose). I saw them in my hobby shop not on sale for $75.00 and the two AB sets that I hvae I managed to get on sale for $90.00 for the two of them. I noticed they raised prices on alot of other Life-Like stuff as well. ANd with Horizon jacking the Athearn stuff out of sight. All I am left with as far as trains in my price bracket is Accurail. Is it me or is this hobby going to disintigrate here. I am a die hard hard core model railroad till I die type fellow. But I can not even begin to afford it as it is now. What happened to all the reasonably priced kits? Its all RTR and jacked up sky high. Hopefully plastruct or Evergreen are in good finaincail standing I have big orders to place with the both of them. Guess I can learn how to machine my own parts while I am at it as well. James.
