This Way Up

I'd guess the power car is effectively priced as RhB locos, 1000 and the coaches are 250 ish each so 1500 total.
You can't compare the costs of a small mould like the Stainz with these huge moulds as there isn't a saving as the dies get bigger so each bodyshell is probably four times the cost of a Stainz
Add to that the extra costs of R&D today and all the extras like pantographs and lighting circuits and it soon mounts up.
It's great to have several Stainz instead if you like them but if you're a RhB fan it doesn't quite cut the mustard
To put it in perspective you can ony just get three of the Bemo HOm Allegra's for the cost of one of these, technically 1/66th the volume, I wish it was £23 for the HOm one
