They sure do look nice but at that price I may be only buying one.

Intermountain makes some fabulous models but as CRMike points out they are priced accordingly. I am a little surprised they do not make a CN or GTW version :?

I got the dealer packet on these today. Holy crap they are going to look nice, but at $70 a pop, there is no way you could afford to make a decent sized train of them.

Getting back into the hobby after a few years away, I am amazed at the level of detail the large manufacturers are putting out. However, its coming at a price. With each new release the price of a model is going up and up. Thankfully there is Atlas Trainman to 'fill the voids'. Well detailed out of the box, and won't break the bank.

Looks like the detail of a brass model. Need to see one first hand to compare. I own a handful of OMI auto racks ranging in price from aprox.$70 to $150.
