Thanks. I figured the numbers must be fairly low given the occasional "Only a handful will be made" promotional talk you sometimes hear. It would go a long ways toward explaining why the ending asking price is so high. The front-end cost for a production run is likely substantial, even if the dies are already on-hand.

On a related note for custom-runs... I just recv'd an email from Pat's Trains this afternoon announcing receipt of two custom-run MTH Premier Dreyfuss locomotives: Black Bonnet and B&O Cincinnatian, the latter of which is already sold-out... and the Black Bonnet has "a few remaining". Production quantities were 24 for each roadname. Had they been Lionel locomotives, the minimums would have been 40 per roadname.
I might have jumped on the Cincinnatian if they were available. But Pat also has the same color scheme offered as a C&O Lionel Legacy H-7 due later this year, which has been calling my name... since I have a full complement of B&O Lionel 18" aluminum passenger cars including a StationSounds diner which coordinates seamlessly well with a Legacy steamer vs. a DCS locomotive.

Sorry to hijack this tread... The trains are not getting more expensive. I think Atlas O prices are consistent with Lionel, but Atlas O usually delivers a better product. Our money has is just losing value, and will continue to lose value. Sorry I have bring this up, buts its reality, not politics. Here is a chart of the radical money printing (counterfeiting) scam which is used to finance the profligate deficit spending of the incompetent Federal government. fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MABMM301USQ189S |
