Please provide actual dollar amount, as I'm not familiar with any "China produced kits".
The cars are 1/25 scale or about the size of a O 40ft box car....lots more parts count. thx
I'm confused,,,,,,,,what does "1/25 scale" have to do with 1/48 O scale?
Hobby products designed, tooled, MANUFACTURED and packaged in the USA. Many here say manufacturing in the USA is impossible....these guys say no....THAT"S what it has to do with trains.
95% of hobby plastic kits today are tooled and manufactured in China and marketed here by AMT, MPC and until they shut down last month Revell. (much like MTH, Lionel and Atlas) They have a MSRP of $30-45 USD Salnino's USA kit has a MSRP of $40.
