Not really. It's one of the cheapest from what I gather from observation. I see kids buying $2000 sound systems and $25,000 engines for their Hondas. I see men spending $25,000 for a new Harley, and $90 for a $35 Lifelike Harley Train set. I see RCers buy a $500 plane and crash it in the ground 1 week later. I seen a special on TLC or one of them channels about guys spending $10, 000 on a pumpkin chucker or mach 2 carbon fiber model rocket. I see old guys buying $125,000 RVs that get 6 mile per gallon at $1.50 so they can beat Holiday Inn out of $75 or Renyold's Developing out of a $600 a month condo. Naw, $18 for a box car isn't really out of line is it? Of course you don't even have to spend that. You can get boxcar kits for under $5 and scratch build buildings out of cornflake boxes. I'm going to be real politically incorrect now and say the high price of RTR may be because they gave the Chineese Communist slaves a raise to 3 cents a day. If they paid them poor people a low wage in line with what we paid McDonalds or grocery sackers that $18 car would be $50. Of course that a painful subject that we need to ignore so we can feel good.
