I haven't done much outside of HO scale, but I think it is the medium or medium low on the price scale. I would think more about space and then select N or HO based on that, the bigger stuff will get pricey (but that may be what you want). Z - Can't tell you what this stuff runs N - Usually the cheapest that I see for the basics and for track, although some of the more detailed and finer running units can cost more than HO. HO - My favorite, a good medium for size and cost. Really common so the prices are good, usually real nice engines can be had for under $100. The larger steam or finely detailed deisel or electric can reach prices in the mid to high $200's, sometimes above $300. Track is only slightly more expensive than N. S - Sorry, again I can't give you an estimate on Price. O - This is the lionel stuff from our youth. Non-lionel products flucuate, but the Lionel is pretty pricy. A good starter set will cost you $250 - $350 for an engine, 4 cars and a loop of track. G - Everything I have ever seen in large scales has cost a fortune. I know this isn't going to be much help. You should take a look at DiscountTrainsOnline.com, or InternetTrains.com and then check the prices on relativly same items in different scales. I think you will find that HO is always going to be about the best because of the popularity of it.
