QUOTE: Originally posted by Warburton It sort of looks like we're all pretty much in agreement here about overpriced, extra-featured trains. I wonder where the guys that BUY them are? Maybe working second and third jobs to pay for them???
QUOTE: Originally posted by Warburton Allan -- which (I think) proves my point: greed on part of both manufacturers (make lots more products oversees for a lot less cost but keep prices up there) AND consumers (give us more choices, more detail, more features and keep a lid on the price). I totally agree with you that the shakeout has already begun. All we can do is sit back, see what happens and enjoy all the neat trains we already have!

QUOTE: Originally posted by emmaandy Look what happend to O scale since the 50's it dropped and dropped and now it is hard to find detail and scratchbuilding parts. The things that are available mostly are three rail converts. There has been a bit of a rebirth based on the desire for scale 3 rail but it is not like the days when Walthers made O scale car kits.
