From what I see on eBay $8 for Athearn blue box kits is a good price. Depending on how rare a kit is I have seen prices range from $5 to $30. If the kit is built with no upgrades prices start at $10. If the car has Kadee couplers and metal wheels prices can go as high as $40 to $50.
As for the RF16 set I too have been going after both B&O and PRR sets. The Bachmann locos run for about $100 to $150 each for the A unit and B unit. They are DCC/DC dual mode and sometimes have sound. The other option is E-R Models. I picked up an A unit in Baldwin Demonstrator scheme for $50. The B&O and PRR run about the same $50 to $75 for each unit. They are DC with hook and horn couplers. I am trying to figure out how to change them over to Kadee. It doesn't look simple.
