There is no "law" of model railroading that says you must have the newest, biggest, most expensive items to enjoy the hobby! Take a look at the Trainworld site - they have perfectly decent Life Like Proto 1000 F-7's for $19.95. Good and heavy, good motors, less fine detailing than Proto 2000, but will work just fine. They are a lot better than the original Athean F-7's, which have been around for more than 50 years. You can operate without an Athearn Genesis f-7! They also have their RDC-2 and -3's for the same price, and other similar bargains. Geese, they're offering the Rivarossi two truck Heisler for $79.95 currently - when I got back into the hobby 20 years ago the earlier versions were around $75.00, so this can be a bargain. Shop around and it does not have to be expensive. You DO NOT require sound or DCC equipped motive power to operate a model railroad! Have fun! [:)] Bob Boudreau
