I don't think it is quite that bad (well, depends in the specific products).  I was not making a political statement - just specifically model railroad items.  My point was that the model prices keeps going up, but  in most cases so is the model's fidelity and accuracy.
Sarcasm Pete, sarcasm. Inflation is real and a problem but it is only political if you bring politics into it. Like you pointed out, some things are inflating in price faster than others but some areas of the country are seeing higher rates of inflation than others as well. By some accounts Utah is seeing around 15% over the last year.

Each pair is $30 and thats in a bag, so already at $90 for a 6 pair, plus the packaging change. Really not much difference in pricing to be honest.
Attempting to model a modern Southern Pacific based in 2015/2016...

Also, I have a passenger train addiction...

You won't get HIGH from this reefer information, but you can get excited. JTC has an extensive product depth of the APL "family" that include 20's, 40's, 48's, and 53's. We are expanding to keep this APL reefer COOL and very detailed. I wish I could post all the photos but please take a look before they are released in November. I think it is important to note that JTC's reefer sets have a tremendous amount of tooled and printed details to offer a variety for each release. JTC will continue to post our new reefer units to this thread in the future for other to see the depth of our product line.

Reefer product features:
Scheme specific tooling
8 different prototype refrigeration units
4 different prototype doors
5 different prototype body styles
Metal and magnetic connection for stacking
Metal inside of front reefer unit for genset modeling
New prototype bottom with exposed rib support beams
Separately applied metal fan covers for each container

Containers Numbers for APL Reefers

ARPU 580495-0, 580441-4, 580743-4, 580773-2, 580768-7, 580710-0

APL Genset Numbers

Blue APHJ 8687, 8488, 8825

Faded Red APRJ 1538, 1351, and APLJ 3165

PS. Did you know that JTC offer retro fit kits to allow modelers to stack containers? JTC also sells magnet and metal kits to magnetically connect older containers together when we don't have a retro fit kit. Plates and magnets can be found here:
