There are many items listed in the catalog I would like to add, same for MTH and Lionel's offerings. But, what I have in "O" is more then what I had decades ago, and enjoyed running. But when I go to the grocery store and don't buy a steak because of the high prices, how can I justify paying over 75.00 for one car? and now over 100.00? From what I see in way of prices, my buying days of new products offered, built-to-order, or pre-orders are done. My resources are now devoted to scenery, and upgrading same. Secondary is looking at the Forums sales items and E-Bay auctions for items at a fraction what they are. Please don't compare what prices were 50 years ago compared to wages, I know how many hours I had to work to buy a Lionel. But back then as a paperboy, I could buy a car or accessory on my Paperboy pay and tips, todays paperboy couldn't. I'm seeing a next door neigbor paperboy kid struggling to buy a new bike for what an Atlas 110.00 car is selling for.
