I am just starting back in the hobby after some 23 years or so. (mid 70's to 82 or so when I was a kid) I dont remeber all the prices I paid for things back then with my very limited fund, but seems to me that cost of items are a mixed bag. <br />When adjusted for inflation: Track prices seems cheaper now, engines are more expensive but are of higher quality and certainly have options that were not available back in the 70's. (Cheaper engines are still available tho' ) Model prices seem consistent with more "high end" models available. Scratch building can lower this cost alot. I dont remember premade trees ever being cheap. Since I didn't have anything when coming back in to the hobby I expected to spend a few bucks to get started. The layout while be a father/son project that while last for years and I cant put a price on that.
