Yeah, the price has been sub-€200 for a long time now. €200 for a BNIB never-run example, maybe. Nearly sure that Euvi Rail had one listed a few months back, and had to re-list as it didn't sell.
Where did you get the info on the decoder hatch? From Paddy himself? I couldn't find that anywhere. The Murphy Models website says that the lighting arrangement is all new, and @WRENNEIRE said that the tooling had been tweaked, but the decoder access was a blank - until right now!
