What is confusing? I don't see 'RTR' in the description.

Simon meant that when an RTR model is announced, kits of that same model
tend to drop in price.  Not at all confusing!

I know that K's kits in good condition still fetch good money, but that
buyer must be well pleased, especially when you look at the starting price!

I can't think why; K's kits were pretty awful.  I can't believe this made
more than £20.

Especially as will need new motor and gears say GBP25 then depending on how
competant/luckey builder is then for wheels GBP30.

Yes but it was a *Bachmann* announcement so a RTR could still be years away?
