Anybody: <br /> <br />My last post begs me to ask a question of those who model with electric locos on powered rails. Please go easy on me because I am naive in this area of model RR'ing. <br /> <br />Let's say you are just starting out. Let's also say you have a truly obsessive desire for quality, and assume that the first thing you want to see is a beautiful model train running around a 200' foot circuit in your garden. <br /> <br />You buy a GOOD quality Loco, some GOOD quality consist (say 5 cars), and you want all the "bells & whistles" for sound, control, and appearances for starters. <br /> <br />When you are finally ready to hook it up and run it for the FIRST time, HOW MANY bucks have you laid out? <br /> <br />Forget accessory layout modeling at THIS time. As I see it, we are on EQUAL turf when it gets to that. <br /> <br />I'm just interested in INITIAL outlay to get a nice high quality train running on 200' of properly laid powered rail. <br /> <br />What would it cost up to THIS point? <br /> <br />Thanx ahead of time.
