@rdunniii posted:The problem is, with fewer models at a higher price, as demonstrated above, is that there are too many variations with insufficient reservations for each. If there were 75+ reservations each for ATSF, UP, and BN then it would be very doable for ~$800 each. But there are no more than about 10 reservations for any variation, most are about 5. At 5-10 models per variation you probably looking at $1200-$1500 per model.
I'd drop $2,500 for a pair of Wheeling & Lake Erie SD40-2's (2-rail DCC with ESU LokSound). Of course, I don't think anybody else would. 🤣
