[RITSlist] Precision Scale announcements

[George Bailey]

Corrected price on the 2-8-2 (I asked a dealer!):
   
  $ 1400.00
   
  Sorry if I raised any hopes.
   
  The main point of my post was not the price, but the fact that it might not be made at all if they don't get enough orders - a trend that seems to be going to plastic models as well as brass !!!
   
  Do you think this trend is good for the hobby ???
   
  Seems like if you don't pre-order, you probably won't get it - what does that mode do to new hobbyists ???

  Someone, I forget who, commented earlier that they would prefer the Division
Point 2-8-2 to Precision Scale. However, the Precision Scale notice
indicates that Boo-Rim will be the actual manufacturer - and Boo-Rim is the
same source that Division Point has been using (for the 5000-class 4-8-4's
and the upcoming 4-8-2). How much influence does the manufacturer have on
the engineering of the model and mechanism, vs. the importer? I'm not
familiar with previous Precision Scale imports to know the history. The
Boo-Rim work on the Division Point 4-8-4's was very nice.

It's certainly wonderful that the importers are bringing us a succession of
Rock Island steam locomotives - and for me personally much needed as I'm
planning a 1930's era RI model railroad - but the rate at which these are
being issued is sure squeezing my wallet, and making it hard on me to
explain to my patient wife why I have to buy another $1500 "hunk of metal"
(her words) when both our cars need replacing....

Imports).

Just FYI.
