Biggest issue with this set up is there are a lot of old guys in our club that would like a set but not that savy with computers and reluctant to order on line.
Most orders for the 3rd Rail Canadian Pacific Canadian set are not through web site but local hobby shops across Canada.
If you pay full now and it does not fly what will the exchange rate be for Canadians for this set if $ refunded??
Was on par a few months back so would have been $500 for a full set.
about $550 Cdn today!
What about taxes ??? PST in some provinces GST in others??
I asked the guys from Chinook Hobby West about that when I saw the cars at the train show. There are no additional taxes as they are included in the posted price. Being an "old guy" myself, I understand the issue some of your older members have. They can phone the store to order them if they prefer. I live in Calgary and I'll probably just pay for them direct if I pick up a set. I'm still undecided.
