You are right, good stuff costs, but in defense all hobbies cost. I have friends who race stockcars at a local dirt track, they think nothing of spending 10 grand on an engine. Golf guys spend money out on the course and for clubs. RC guys spend more on a car or plane than I spend on a whole train. I limit myself to $20 a week. I save up to get my stuff. The Museum of Science and Industry spent like 5 million on their layout. I know I can't compete with that. So spend what you can and don't worry about "the Jones' ". Also, got to Walther's website and get their sale cataloge sent to you. I have seen items 50% off. Also, good local hobby shops will ususually honor the Walther's Terminal Hobby Shop Sale price if you show them nicely to the owner. ONE LAST FREE ADVISE THING... RESIST BUYING 'toy' CHEAP EQUIPMENT. I WOULD RATHER HAVE 1 GOOD RUNNING AND LOOKING ITEM THAN 5 OR 10 HUNKS OF CHEAP, STALLING OUT, DERAILING, OUT OF SCALE CRAP.
