The high-volume model railroad stores might be taking $30 to $50 off of the catalog price of $199.99.

All good points! But I still just want a piece of rolling stock, no add on fog, sound, cameras, hot boxes, harmonica music, or anything else they try to sell $15 worth of plastic for $199. An $80 Conrail reefer with no gimmicks is acceptable and still heavily priced for their profit. Same with the camera domes, I am out. Cheaper for me to buy existing Union Pacific and sent off to Christine for accurate painting.
