MTL increased their pricing earlier this year.Guess it was just easier to do than produce more product that people actually want.  :D

I'm glad to see these are now available; 100T trucks had been in short supply.  I wish they had the recessed bolster, but they'll complement the BLMA/Atlas trucks (when they reappear).

I agree, I'm excited to see them also, but IMO, almost $7.00 MSRP is a high price for some injection molded Delrin.
I wonder what they would cost if they had attached couplers?
This is even more true when many would likely replace the wheelsets with Metal ones.

I don't disagree, but I have to believe it's the cost of doing business in the US.  The market will have to decide if it's sustainable.

Trainworx 100T trucks with FVM metal wheels are half the price. Too bad. I was hoping for scale metal wheels here.

What do you mean?  You expected MT to start selling trucks with metal wheels?!

From the tiny pics I've been looking at on my cell phone, it appears they have centered kingpins vs offset kingpins.

Pricing error... they should be $4.45 a pair.  We are fixing the web now.

And yes to the metal wheels   :)
