Who buys very expensive locomotives ($500 +)

I personally do not drop that kind of money on a locomotive. I was seriously seriously tempted when Riverossi came out with the Allegheny. But I feel that it has been some time now and with my dealer's discounts I can go maybe 300- max after saving the funds. But keep in mind I buy one or two engines per year and my roster is nearly complete. (10 engines total) <br /> <br />There is a very limited group of people who can spend large amounts on the hobby. As far as I am concerned, that is fine. Your wallet is not who you are. I witnessed a incident in which a child bought a train set at kaybee's in the mall recently and it was a bit pricey at 80- for the Parents however the expression on the face is joy. To that kid with the new set is like the Crown Jewels. <br /> <br />That is what will keep the hobby going. There will always be a market for the high end as well as everything in between.
