As I read the responses to this topic, I am sad to see the negativity that is common in this great hobby. I know that there is a broad range of experience when it comes to garden railroading, but I believe that a recent issue of Garden Railways made this clear- it's supposed to be fun and enjoyable- not rude and degrading. I started with one of those $40 KB Toys G Scale Sets that my wife purchased for Christmas and I enjoyed it (as well as my 4 year old). Yes, it has it's drawbacks, but has served a great purpose for the past two years and continues to do so. I had to weigh down the cvab of the locomotive, but other than not controlling the speed, I think we got our $40 worth out of it. I also have a converted remote control USA NW2 Locomotive that was considerably more than our first and it runs very well. So for the most part, you do get what you pay for, but I've also seen expensive rolling stock that does not perform well either- so there is always exceptions. For someone that is thinking about getting involved in garden railroading and doesn't want to spend big bucks, you can have a lot of fun with the old $40 set, but a few tweaks may be in order- remember have fun and enjoy the outdoors!
