   Ya ya... my only question is what constitutes a “set”.

At least 20... *grin*

Na... that constitutes a good start not a set.

I think a “set” would be the minimum amount, say 4. If I were Ben, I’d charge $14 for a set of 4, or $24 for a set of 8. But your points are well taken: true LTDs (LEGO Train Dudes) would purchase multiple sets in various colors:-)

Makes sense. Except I think it’s better just to sell them in pairs because you never know how many blinds you will need... it depends on what you are building... a 4-12-2 for example needs more blinds than a 4-4-0 does

Personally, I’d want to buy them in sixes. I’d guess that so would most builders of British, if not many European, locomotives. Adding in that some will want a pair of those to be blind, and some won’t, I think pairs is the only way of keeping people happy. Maybe a large volume discount, but I can see they won’t be cheap, so if they were sold in 4s or 8s we’d be splitting and swapping them to get the most money’s worth.

So long as it was a minimum order of 4 (i.e. 4, 6, 8...1000000), that wouldn’t be an issue.

Possibly Ben should get some franchises! My suggestion would be someone for Europe, based in Germany probably and someone in Australia (possibly somone in Japan as well). This (with Ben selling to US) would cover most of the train building areas (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
