I examined a O scale possibility for a locomotive, 8 cars and caboose as well as some track etc. I was over 1200 dollars. This for no sound etc. I have steadily bought BLI engines and a few Atlases over the last couple of years because the price is right for a factory installed DCC and SOund. Not to mention that the steamers pull very well. I work around the high prices by maintaining a war chest. When an Item is announced, I put in my reservation and start saving a little each week. A year or two later the product is released (Finally) I can purchase it free and clear without too much effort. It helps to have layway and a good hobby shop with a little bit of discount. One engine is a Brass Western Maryland Potomac in HO that retails for close to 1200- without sound or DCC. That is way too expensive for me at this time. So I choose to stick with what I can get.
