Nobody I know of in Large Scale buys anything from Walthers. In fact, nobody I know in just about any scale intentionally buys from Walthers if they can possibly avoid it. Why pay those kinds of prices when there are many alternatives available? I've been involved with Large Scale model railroading since the eary 80s, and rank it as one of my two favorite scales. Overall, and considering what you get for your money, I've found Large Scale to be one of the more affordable segments of the hobby. It's not as inexpensive as HO or N, of course, but that makes perfect sense because it's a smaller segment and the items offered generally have to be made to more rigorous specifications since they're largely intended for outdoor use in all climates and conditions. Turnout concerns? Just lay your own. It's a whole lot easier to build "customized" trackwork in Large Scale than it is in some of the smaller scales. My advice: Pick up a current copy of "Garden Railways" magazine, and pay a visit to www.mylargescale.com. Between those two sources, you can find out anything you might want to know about Large Scale and garden railroading.
