I agree that prices are way to high. I am looking into getting my custom paint/model rialroad design firm into manufacturing. Due to the economics of tooling steel, I am relegated to casting resin manufacturing. But I know the techniques that can produce an injection quality car kit for approxamatly in the 10-15 dollar range. And thats factory painted and ready to assemble. Keep in mind this is freight cars. <br /> <br />All this research leads me to beleave that the companies are charging high prices because they can and people will pay them. This has had the side effect that I do not buy much new stuff any more and when I do, its when the hobby shop has a sale. ($45.00 for a Proto SD60 at the last one!)
