Reply to "Increasing O-Scale costs..."

Interesting....

I see lots of kits and stuff for under $20 and even more for under $30. So you have to put it together - ok, but the stuff it out there and it's not in any short supply of anything. If anything, more and more is going to be coming out of closets and basements and get handed around for another cycle of unbuilt storage in a dark place.

Prices maybe up a bit, but prices are up on just about everything. Why wouldn't stuff increase in price? Maybe the demand for kits has slightly increased - maybe folks would rather spend some time vs. money that they can't afford to part with and build a kit and get some fun and time invested in that activity....

Converting cars - not sure why this is so costly - a pair of Athearn trucks and a pack of IM wheesets and a pack of KD's all can be had for under $20.
