Reply to "FLYER CHIEF BERKSHIRES...NEW IMAGES"

Well, I'm pretty pleased with what I am going to get for my money, when I get my BERK.

If I play with my favorite tool, the consumer price index inflation calculator(http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl , the MSRP for the Berk in 2015 dollars is $350 which is $42.37 in 1958 dollars. The "Charles Ro Preorder Price" is $295.00 which is $35.73 in 1958 dollars.

In 1958 the MSRP for a AF 4-8-4 was $47.00, $44.00 for a AF 4-6-4.and $39.35 for a AF New Haven Style Pacific.

I am comfortable with this price point.

Like Ricky Nelson sang, "You can't please everyone . . . "
