I haven't spent over $32 for a loco yet. I have 7 P2K's, 1 Spectrum, and a bunch of Athearn. I would consider some Atlas for $50-60, but I can't justify much more than that. I do want a Big Boy some day, but that's somewhere down the road. Most of my freight cars are Athearn BB kits at $2-5 per kit, but I also have some Atlas and Walthers RTR stuff that I got on Ebay for $10-12 per car INCLUDING shipping costs. Because I know I can aquire freights for around $10, I won't look at anything much over that. As far as the diesel locos, I look at everything that's discounted or on sale and make my decisions. I just got 4 Athearn locos in the Kodachrome paint (1 is a dummy) for $67. That works for me. I think if I wasn't able to get the good deals on the Athearns and P2K's, I'd go to $100 for a loco and $20 for a car. I guess I am a BARGAIN MODEL RR'er!! <br />Tim
