Reply to "How does the lower prices on modern used trains effect your buying of new trains?"

What is surprising is I have boughten 2 locos that are hard to find and MTH will not make another run of these. I picked up a Railking Mountain and Hudson from the same guy all together for 429.99 both had less than and hour of running time. Fair enough to say the used modern locos are sold cheaper because the miles on them and the hours. I have seen a weathered Lionel Dash 9 with TMCC a few years ago sell at TTOS Cal-Stewart meet in California for 125.

I try to buy something that has been made that MTH sells at retail that I can get cheaper. Proto 2.0 is just as good a Proto 3.0. Sounds are nicer but I have 8 Proto 2.0 locos, they run just as good as Proto 3.0. Now I know that I will get 3 more Proto 3.0 locos and my question is MTH uses a "wireless tether" but I do not consider it wireless, your still hooking it up not by a electric eye.
