It's not that prices have gone up, that's a given. But that they have gone up so disproportionately to the rest of the model railroad market is unusual. We're not talking an exceptionally rare, high quality product here.
I also find it odd that the used market has also disappeared. Gone.
I guess we'll see what the market does. My understanding is that the new diesel is selling quite well. As for me, since the price jump a year ago, my On30 purchases have slowed significantly. About 90% of what I have spent on this hobby in the last year has been in another scale.
Still, I love On30 and the modeling being done. I keep hoping Bachmann has something up their sleeves and just wows us!
