One could probably build one for less, if one's time has no value.
Michael Carter was the owner/seller, and he values his time.
The switch was bought by someone in Las Vegas NV, who said it was going 
into a railroad Museum

Several CNET members are either in the process or have built small 
switches, so there is plenty of help available when the time comes.
Hardest to find without building a repro will be tone plants.
Chuck Richards had a series of articles in the TCI newsletter some years 
ago on building a solid state int and tone plant.
Michael Carter built one for the above switch.
