    Athearn has announced another price increase on their long, long, delayed ATSF F-7s. Now over $500 for an ABBA set! This is 'reflect the value' of the units whatever that means. Does anyone know why these units are so delayed and will cost so much more than the other F units of theirs.

    Are they still using the current hungry motors?

    You probably didn't notice the original poast was from 2002.
