I voted for price. <br /> <br />While I agree that the extra detail does have its share of costs involved. I feel that manufacturors need to start paying attention to making avialable a selection of cars and or kits that are priced for the beginning modeler. Im looking at hobby prices and am balking at their obsurd cost. Athearn was charging. (Until what I predict to be the beginning of what will be its ultimate demise) $13.00 for an assembled version of a box car that not 2 years ago was a $5.00 kit. Model Die casting seems to be a ready substitue. But I feel It needs to get on the PR bandwagon and promote a new and vibrant and dare I say "Hip" image. As it has the image I percieve of being an old man of the hobby staying his course not willing to change much. Accurail's cars are compribly priced to MDC and could also help vill the vacume left by Athearn.
