@Dwayne B posted:Did the Brute and Super 381 sell well enough for MTH to make a profit? I would have to think for either to be produced with today's prices you would be talking close to $2000 per engine. What about the Showroom passenger cars that sold for $550 per car? You may be talking close to $1000 per car? That's a ton of money in a limited market.
That's an excellent point. I bought the first green Brute when it came out. There was nothing out there that was even of similar size. When the cars came out they were huge 30 inches each. At that time I only had a 9 by 9 track at home. 4 cars times 30 plus the engine and guess what? It doesn't fit. I sold it on Ebay after owning it a year for $2400.00. I wish I still had it now, I have room for it at the club.
