Title: Atlas prices
Post by: Graham Walters on June 13, 2016, 10:11:53 AM
I've had an email from a supplier today regarding a pending Atlas release in HO scale.
The actual loco's are quite reasonable, a DCC ready around £160 for Master ALP-45DP Loco NJ Transit #4502, but when it comes to the coaches, they knock Bachmann and Hornby into a cocked hat ! the cheapest being £86, the dearest a shade short of £100,  I know the box shifters will probably discount these, but even so, they must be good to warrant that price tag.

HO?! Off topic surely!

Still don't match Hag and their IC2000 coaches, which I think cost about the same as the real ones.

I was joking. I'm disappointed there isn't a separate sub-forum (or 23) for HO though, preferably with a sub-forum for American HO!
