Actually Atlas also has an excellent reputation of cooperating with the other manufacturers.  They have kindly told others to cease research and development on a model they already were completing tooling to produce thus saving time and money.

Lee of Bowser asks what can it reasonably sell for and not how much can I gouge people for? He would never think about gouging a customer.  Gouging will put you out of business.

John,Like I said earlier there isn't a company that doesn't fear their customers will start voting with their wallets.

I already started voting with mine and I've bought several LL P2K locomotives and Atlas/Kato locomotives over the past few months..

The only new engines I plan on buying is Scale Trains "Operator" SD40-2 with DCC/Sound.

Bowser and Atlas are great companies, wish they all still had that kind of ethics.
