***:
Brooklyn Locomotive Works (www.blwnscale.com) sells them for $13.39
MB Klein (www.modeltrainstuff.com) has them for $12.79
and the winner:
Empire Northern Models (http://www.empirenorthernmodels.com/Circuitron%20Page.htm) has them for $11.99

I've dealt with all of thee above, and been happy with each. Empire Northern is in upstate NY.

However, if your close enough to drive there, you can order and then go pick up and save the shipping cost also. Not too many of us can do that unless we are vacationing in beautiful upstate NY, and make a side trip.

Try $140 + $4 shipping for a dozen which works out to $12 each (shipping included).

I don't know where you got $11.66.

I think what he meant was $11.66 each if you buy 12 plus 4 dollars shipping.

If you ain't having fun, you're not doing it right and if you are having fun, don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.
