N scale on a budget? Just what I have done. Train shows are okay but I have done much better at model railway <br /> flea markets. Don't know if you have access to any. Some Life-Like engine designs run well at a crawl, some don't. Bachman Spectrum engines (that I have) run well at a crawl but have a lot of gear noise (high ratio gears). <br />Found I can get engines, rolling stock, track, power packs, building kits at discounted prices. Turnouts have been more of a problem. For scenery, try to use natural or readily available materials. Example: bought a large quantity of bottle bru***ype evergreen trees at a local plant nursery and craft supply after Christmas clearance sale. Look for alternatives, improvise. I have seldom paid full price for anything. Was raised to be thrifty.
