Re: Darn! I wish those Athern pieces weren't quite so $$$!
I guess we all wish almost anything worth purchasing was cheaper, but I feel that Athearn's product is well worth the price for the quality they offer. I assume you are referring to the 1/50th models (there have, of course, been even more choices in 1/87th). I now have examples of their fire stuff in all three scales (and several in 1/87th), and consider them the best.
I only hope they do more. Can you picture a nice 1/87th scale custom platform quint?
