The Walthers passenger cars are over 50% off. Not too surprising, is it? I cannot imagine passenger trains in old, lesser modeled roads would be big sellers. So, Kudos to Walthers for offering them to us (and they do look nice on the LHS shelves, at least to me) That said, it might sadly reinforce their committment to stay a bit away from N, based on this clearance sale.
My LHS has typically offered 20% off, and when Walthers offers 10-25% off in their flyers, added that discount to the price, so I can get this stuff well below normal prices. Should check your LHS if anything interests you.
