Whatever happened to the "Bachman Plus" line of kits? Did Bachman just discontinue the line or what? I've been out of the hobby for a little while (five or six years) so this is new to me.
They kinda faded away from the Bachmann line... too bad, because they fill a needed gap in the hobby. You can still find them at train shows and hobby shops, usually for a 1/3 of their inflated original price. I've seen them for sale in the $40 range (more acceptable than $80 or $90).
