Hate to say it, but anyone who gets into this business to make money, is in the wrong business. Almost everyone who does this, has a passion for trains, in one way or another. For many model train dealers (probably most) , Model trains is a side hustle, piggybacked on a more profitable business.
Part of the fun of doing a special run, is doing something you like. And like with everything else, you hope to at least break even, or have a few bucks left over when your done.
Im already working with MTH on 3 more roads for the SW1500, for delivery in about year.

Wow !!! To go from no TRRA diesels ever to be able to do triple headers !!! So Awesome!!!! So next year - Manufacturers Railway and Alton and Southern would be an awesome compliment to the TRRA. Both had SW1500s.
