Good point Paul. I would really like to see a comparison between two identical items, one made in the U.S. and one made in China. Giving the manufacturer the same profit margin (or even the same $ amount), what would be the difference to the consumer? How about this idea. Atlas comes out with another line of track. USA Track. Code 83 made in the USA. Red White and Blue packaging. Labor would be more expensive, but shipping would be less. Because it is made in the US would delivery be faster?Would enough people go for it that it would become a viable line to carry? Would enough modelers pay the extra knowing that some American workers were gainfully employed? Would be interesting!
