    Hello

    I see different Kato bethgon (coalporter, grain, protein gondola, etc...) at different prices (set of 8)
    They all seem to be reference 106 - xxxx, but some are under $100, and others are above
    Is there a good reason?
    Are there specific sets to avoid?

    Thanks

    They should be all the same. Just differant dealers cost.I have a older set of CHTT great running cars.
    I'm looking at a set of M/T's Fruit Grower 8 car set prices are from $150- $229.

    Could also be something to do with some of these sets are pretty old at this point. I think the coalporters from Kato came out about 15 years ago. Hard to find in New condition. Might be paying a premium on some of the older sets ,however some of the newer sets should be reasonably priced.

    Kato N 106-4626 BethGon Coalporter 8-Car Set UP 'UP Shield' Union Pacific

    Regular Price - $150 Sale Price - $99.99 All you have to do is Google that phrase. And I think these are the 2020/2021 release? Like they said, prices could be all over the place depending on what you are looking for, and you might be looking at Full Retail on some sites too?

    Good luck!
