It's my opinion that it is possible to own a reasonable number of locomotives that are fairly accurate and run decently on a modest budget. It's only when someone wants a highly accurate locomotive with an exceptional drive mechanism, DCC and sound that the prices get rediculous. Well why not? You can go out and buy a Ford Fusion for about $20K but if you want a GT40 you will probably have to shell out $250K and it only stickers for $125K. It's supply and demand. Low supply added to high demand = high prices. I don't think any of the model railroad manufacturers are becoming billionaires off the profits made from their products. In fact most are probably barely making enough to see the value of continuing to make new product.
