Reply to "So what does a limited run really mean?"

"Limited run" means whatever the manufacturer wants it to mean, in the absence of more specific information made available to the consumer.  Truth is, as it relates to high end O gauge production these days, I imagine just about everything is "limited run"--probably in the range of a couple of hundred units or so, if not fewer.  Most manufacturers probably wish that a run of 2,000 could be the norm for a so-called limited run.

 

And Dave Allen is right...the term usually doesn't indicate how many units will be made or imply that they will never be made again (unless specified in the advertising).

 

In short, it's usually little more than a means to (hopefully) stimulate sales.
