At the end of the day accurascale has ensured hejin survives imagine if accurascale was around when lima went under it might still exist. Rails is annoyed that their profit margins are gone they dont do us any favours with their sales of second hand irish locos often at ebay prices.
At the end of the day its more models still available to buy and maybe accurascale might allow retailers to sell once the margins are right.
Plus remember hornby already does this with some of their products only directly available from their site
