No problem sir!! I was posting on the family tablet......should know better...I can't see on that thing!! ( need my 22" desk top screen!!)
And I do understand the 'sell many more cars than trains' thing too. But in my analyst mind.....a much more complex model on all levels was a good example vs a more simple less complex box car if you doubled the price. That was my thinking at the time...and somehow Menard's has done it.....and they deserve the credit. I also reasoned that a $20 box car would sell more numbers than a $60 car that was similar.
Lionel's cars made from the modified Weaver tooling show me Lionel is trying a new route of production too......and I credit them.
