Hmm.. well, I don't see outside of the big groups perhaps (I would hope they
would provide the train groups with something!), that they will be cheap,
a.k.a. 0.05 - 0.10 a piece. It really depends on them, but I really don't
care anymore. We shall see, but I would not expect them to be cheap at all.
