Most train sets are of inferior quality rolling stock and track, so even if you get things cheaper, you end up paying for it in the end once you realize the reason for your frequent derailments, jerky operation, and incoherent freight-car assortment. I am in the process of rebuilding my layout, and replacing my rolling stock, because the original stuff was all purchased when I was in high school and thus dirt poor; I bought the cheapest I could find, and now it's just a waste. By contrast, the few Atlas/Kato "premium" engines that I did invest in are still good reliable runners. Don't sell yourself short. <br /> <br />I think some premium manufacturers like Kato or Kadee might offer some train sets, which might be a way to go, but they aren't going to be the cheapest packaged train sets around.
