It doesn't affect me at all. Suviving manufacturers almost never build a prototype
(much less roadname, but decals and paint fix that) I want, and above "rehash" comment applies. Interesting comment above about vintage (antique) cars: the prices on those have not dropped, but seem to always go up, and that includes what I consider "late model junk" (after 1940). A friend of mine blew big bucks and traveled across the country for a 1957 Chevrolet. I wonder who is paying the very big bucks, and they are big, for 1910 brass cars? Somebody is. But are we talking about older trains such as, say, an in-the-box Blue Comet (I'd guess not cheap), or stuff they seemed to crank out in great numbers over the last decade? Anything defined as
"antique" seems to always have a market of new and younger fanciers.
