    Calzephyr is RIGHT about the bottom falling out around 20 years ago. There is also a certain N-Scale (national) Club that had a big part in the so-called collectable market collapse. They failed to see and realize what eBay would do to their market. Far a long time all they cared about was the MTL Collector, and nobody else. If you ran a MTL Collector issue car, or WEATHER IT [HORRORS!!!] you were not worthy of belonging to their association. They could really care less about any body with a layout or anybody doing REAL N-Scale modeling. They put out way too many so-called MTL Special-Runs and usually wanted a hefty price also. This just blew the collectable market out the door.
