Just my two cents, knowing a little about Scott Mann's business; remember that Sunset/3rd Rail/Golden Gate Depot is NOT a "high volume" provider of rolling stock. Thus, their "lower volume" lends itself to "hand made" precision brass steam locomotives and cabooses, for example. The ABS "plastic body" diesel models still have low volume brass under frames, and thus tend to be higher volume than the hand made steam models, but nowhere near the higher volumes that would be required to manufacture these modern freight cars being discussed. Therefor, the projected sell prices would be well above the $500 per set threshold, in my opinion.
