I ordered the Nickel Plate from Charles Ro in early March. When I saw the level of detail planned for the Berkshire, I was almost as excited as when I watched these monsters shake my bones as they stormed through an intersection near my home when I was a kid. Then when the 2019 catalogue appeared with the U33C rerun at $600, my suspicions rose. I still believe someone in accounting messed up with cost calculations, but I would still have kept the order even if the final price rose to $750. Now I have to figure what to buy for my kids to give me this Christmas. It won't be Lionel.
