[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by decoy706 I just hope we don't end up with another Tyco type el-cheapo on the market just when things were getting better with the Athearn line. [/quote] This is exactly what's going to happen. This is Lionel and Mantua-Tyco all over again. As far as model trains go this is the Doomsday scenereo. It can happen one of two ways. First one. Quality stays constant. But due to the limitations I have heard they were imposing the only place you will be able to purchase Athearn from is Longs out of LA. Trainworld/Trainland out of New York City, Express Station Hobbies, and Caboose Hobbies. All with the prices going to sky high collector driven limits. Or Two. You can find athearn everywehre. Even your local Walmart and can get an SD70M $25.00. But The horn hook couplers will cause derailments. the unpainted handrails will look like crap. and you will be on the phone with North West Shortline in 30 minuts anyway to order a new motor for the one that just became flaming scrap under te shell. Cripes. This is the end of the world AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
