This thread very clearly shows why a few people are in the business of manufacturing trains and why most are not. It is not for the faint of heart. This is especially true when we want better quality, more variety, lower costs, delivered sooner. In my nearly 10 years of consulting I have learned a lot about the business side and personally I'm glad it's not necessary to my income. We constantly complain about the price of a new train, yet fail to remember how much a manufacturer puts out as an initial investment just to bring the project to market with the hope that it will sell out.
To anyone who thinks this is easy, please start a competing company and show those greedy manufacturers how "it's really done" 
Rather get into the proforma of a model project which involves not only numbers but relationships, I simply wish all the affected manufacturers in all scales the best to get their product back to market.
