CBQer posted:Has anyone projected what costs might approach to build, let's say, the GP7 loco or one of the Zephyr cars? I hear minimum run of cars is 200? Start with the molds, motors, wire, etc. What type of make up is there? What does it cost to ship from China? What would the costs run to build them here? Surely someone can give a better guess than just saying 700.00 or 800.00.
Thanks for the info.

Although I can't speak to the exact costs of manufacturing, to give you an idea of how cheap international shipping is, I read somewhere it costs less than $2 to ship a flat screen tv from China to the US. That is obviously assuming you have a full 40 foot container of them and split the cost. Shipping is a negligible part of the cost of our models.
