Maybe Im wrong...IDK.. I just question how many ppl will buy a bobber caboose for $100. or pay $200. for a wood side passenger car.
One of the issues, with all the manufacturers, is that they think if they sell out, then the item did well. They dont ask the dealers if the items have sold thru at the retail level without having to dump them, which is the real measure of the success of an item.
In other industries, the retaiers can return unsold product, so the manufacturer finds out in no uncertain terms, how successful something is.
