Reply to "Lionel PRR I1s 2-10-0 Decapod from 2023 Big Book"

@Paul Kallus posted:
With the understanding that the I1s are a bit larger, are there other factors in the large price difference ($500) between them? Both have whistle steam and I think both are "new" tooling acquired from MTH. This is a head scratcher...I can see $200 more for the I1s in just the overall size.

Every now and then. Lionel has an MSRP that's much easier on the wallet. Which is why I jumped on the L1 Mikado

The first MR s3 , and the Prr h10 from a few years ago also fall into this catagory

For comparison, the last "K Line tooled" mikado from Lionel was cataloged at $1299.99

I think the difference in price between the L1 and decapod is not as much "why is the decapod so high" as much as the L1 comes in reasonably priced as I mentioned above.
