[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CP5415</i> <br /><br />Have a look on Walthers website. <br /> <br />I see nothing from Athearn in UP livery that's more expensive than the same gondola in BN livery <br />Part# 1644 UP <br />part# 1655 BN <br /> <br />Both are $7.25 from Walthers. <br /> <br />Gordon <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Could that be because Athearn has decided NOT to be part of the licensing agreement, so they are NOT charging extra for UP models? Walthers is just a re-seller here, not a manufacturer. <br /> <br />Take a look at the MR ads. Kato is already charging more for UP stuff. I'll bet anyone a cup of coffee and a donut that within 90 days of Athearn losing the case, that the entire industry is raising prices on UP and CSX stuff. Then, WATCH the ENTIRE R.R. INDUSTRY jump onboard. Then once everyone has started charging the manufacturers for licensing, then the dust will settle. All the prices may have evened out again by that point. <br /> <br />Athearn and Lionel I'm afraid are tilting at windmills here. Until this thing settles out, lets knock off with the "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" stuff. It's not very becoming. <br />
