Hi Reinhard
Yes unfortunately shipping is very similar to the UK, I had bid on 3 locos from the same seller but only came away with the one, ( although it was the one I needed most, as I wasn't sure I really wanted to do the lining that the CB&Q style livery requires on a resprayed loco ).
On the other hand though I know of 2 hobby stores in the UK that sell P2K SW9s one quoted £120 and the other had them on offer at £80 (£120 = $191, £80 = $128). The total for this sale including the shipping is costing $70. Worth it just about! Plus none of the UK suppliers would stock a CB&Q version.
