from God" to save retail hobby shops -- hopefully they will realize the error of their ways. In the meantime, getting Athearn models has become almost impossible unless you want to pay 100% list price, or take your chances at Charles Ro... (They won't reserve for me since I don't shop 52 times a year.)

Hmmm. When I was at the local hobby shop last week his shelves were full with new Athearn and he discounts the product as he always has. Maybe you need a different dealer...
To tie in to another currently running thread, his shop also does the charge processing for Oddballs decals mail order customers.
