I've heard through the grapevine that a manufacturer is soon to announce a new slow motion turnout machine that will be cheaper, have a thinner profile, and will be available with a DCC decoder installed.  I have no idea how soon or which manufacturer, but unless you need all 130 right now, you might want to wait.

These were invented the day after John installed his last turnout decoder... ;)

They are sold in bulk packs.  Stores rarely stock them (I think there are 12 and 18 bulk packs) but they do save some money.  Ask your favorite pusher for pricing.

If your club wants/needs new ones, it would probably be worthwhile to contact Ciruitron direct and get a "volume" price direct. I'm certain if you either pay COD or better, with the order, and don't want them tomorrow, your club can get a price on that many that you won't believe. Trust me, any small manufactorer can "cut a deal" for you for that many. I can't go into a lot of details, but at the shop we special ordered a very large amount of Athearn HO stuff for a club in TX. I can say, they paid less than "normal" dealer cost for their order, and we made more profit than normally we do. I'd have liked to seen how many trips it took Mr. UPS to unload all their stuff. If UPS sent the normal brown truck, I bet the only thing in it was their order and the driver.  8)
