I second that, Jimmy. Not economical to build a 25-30 car coal train when the cars are $300 each.

Even at the Lionel prices much closer to $100 per plastic car, try building a nice size coal train or any train for that matter. On top of that is the fact that O scale equipment is not something that is regularly kept in stock. It is more along the lines of "buy it now or lose out"! Again, try building a sizeable coal train all at once! I gave up a long time ago trying to collect N&W coal cars. Mainly because (1.) they were not the type of car that I was looking for and (2.) the ones that were of a passable type were just not that many around when my wallet could afford them.
