Sad news! It seems that most of my industries are changing over to truck shipments. The spurs are getting rustier and full of weeds. Why?? The high cost of railcars. Athearn pay attention. In your Ready-To-Roll line you have a series of roadnames at X amount of dollars. Then when you come out with some new roadnames the price goes up 1-2 dollars!! Why? Did the printing costs go up? Is the paint more expensive? Maybe all that labor in China demaned a heck of a raise!! You guys check it out for yourself. When a certain cars came out in new roadnames in the last year they were 12.95. And now I see cars with new roadnames due March-April have increased a buck or two!! WHy??? Atlas comes out with new roadnames and I don't recall a price jump like that. Intermountain comes out with new roadnames all the time in the same body style, no increase. If they followed Athearns habbits, their kits might well be over fifty dollars a pop!!!!!
