Yup. 2x4s in quantities (2500 bricks? 10,000 bricks?) would be awesome, and
we’d buy ‘em! Throw in the ability to buy 2x2 bricks, and we’d have 90% of
the bricks we use on a train layout. Let’s see, 10,000 2x4 bricks at maybe 4
cents each is $400. I’d buy 5 or 6 of those every year. Heck, the GMLTC has
gone through 10,000 2x4 bricks in just a couple of weeks of layout building.

Exactly!
I would have bought 10,000 2x4 bricks in light gray or dark gray at $0.04 each
in a split second. Survey respondents should have been asked how many they would
buy at a specified price. That would have made for much more useful (and I’m
sure quite different) numbers. I think that after I bought enough slopes to
build a 25,000 brick model of the Luxor hotel/casino (it’s a pyramid) in Las
Vegas, that I would have exhausted my lifetime demand for slopes.
