ODF AAR Class B truck kit list

Glory-osky (part 2) Odd Duck! Does that mean one can build an ALCO, an early FM, a Baldwin, or a GE U25B and get it rolling for $600 total? Just answer the question, Quacko! $300 per truck set or $300 total for two truck sets. Inquiring minds want to know.

Sigh. OK, one more time. $300, one kit, gets two trucks, 4 axles worth of rolling fun. Enough for one loco, unless you are building one of those 4 truck jobbies.

Golly gee whiz, Mr. Duck, At least the air is clear and the Duck has spoken, or quacked, or whatever. $300 is a bargain beyond belief.

Went back through the archives to find pictures of the castings of the truck and the original posting from 2018 indicates a pricing of $600 per set (see the link below). While no one is going to complain about a 50% reduction in price, it does seem off considering all the market change in the last 5 years.

Is the posting above accurate to the same design and offerings for this batch of parts?

[OddDuck]

Yes, they sat for a long time at that price. I finally wound up dropping the price just to move them. This is the same exact kit, figured this is a reasonable price. I could charge more, I suppose, if that's what everyone wants. Just kidding, of course.
Going back to my basic philosophy, perhaps someone who otherwise couldn't afford to build themselves a loco can.

Gee Mr. Duck, that sure is swell!
