Frustrations Finding Low Prices For O Scale Vehicles

Haawk58OGR Forum Member

I am building my O scale layout and I have been putting together some cars and trucks for it. I am looking for older vehicles from the 1940s to the 1970s. I have been noticing that there is a huge variety of these older vehicles available in HO & N scales at very low prices. However, many of these same classic vehicles are priced outrageously high in the 1/43, 1/48, or 1/50 scale. A lot of these classic cars are priced around $50 and more. Some of these vehicles are over $100 each. I can't believe that it costs any more to manufacture vehicles in O scale, than it does in HO or N scales, but yet, these cars are a lot more affordable. I would like to find some sources online where I can buy classic O scale cars & trucks that are reasonably priced. If anybody out there knows of some online sources, please let me know. I welcome any help in this area.
