QUOTE: Originally posted by dingoix you should NEVER pay m.s.r.p. you can always find it for less- my LHS sell engines for about 35% off m.s.r.p. so the Tower55 ES44DC would cost around $170 -I hope to get three of them in the BNSF H3 paint http://www.tower55products.com/main.php?scale=HO&type=Diesel&series=GE%20Evolution%20Series&prod=BNSF+ES44DC+New+H3+Scheme
QUOTE: Can I order direct from Tower 55 Products? Our preference has always been to support our dealer network. Dealers often provide a better price and more importantly provide more personalized service that you may require. However, you may also order direct from Tower 55 Products via our online showroom or by phone.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Fergmiester Something Else to remeber. New releases are always priced high as someone will pay whatever it takes to be the first kid on the block to own one. Give it a year or so and prices will drop after the initial rush. Marketing, ya gotta despise it! Fergie
QUOTE: Originally posted by dingoix why are these Tower55's so expensive- are we just buying "brand name" (overland brass) or are these new engine such high quality it's difficult to fathom?
