CNJ831 <br /> <br />Good point. Whatever happened to AHC? I remember they used to have the first few pages in every issue. Actually went there once, it was a pretty neat place on four floors of a building in downtown NY. Each hobby (trains, models, RC etc) had its own floor. <br /> <br />Even using the AHC prices (which were discounted off MSRP) a $2 dollar freight car in the 50's would be about the equivalent of $15-18 dollars today I'm thinking, or even more. Just looking at the price of 1st class postage, I believe was .03 in the 50's. It's .37 today. In 1964 a Ford Mustang was $2400, today starting price is $20,000. <br /> <br />I'm thinking that prices have pretty much stayed about even with lots of other stuff. Some mrr stuff is cheaper, some more expensive, but it appears to be no more than the "good ole days."
