Looking Back.

[Brakie]

I was in Deshler on Sunday and one of the local peddlers had a trunk full of Athearn blue box for sale. He bought a collection, kept a few for himself, and was selling the rest to cover his cash outlay. Most of the boxes had original price tags of $4 to $6. I think a few limited run items had $8 price tags on them.

I remember buying BB car kits starting at $1.29 then $1.49 still a excellent buy.
