The best way to keep this hobby affordable is to buy only what you need.  Many of us, including me have bought way too many locomotives, freight cars, structures etc. on a whim.  I'm trying to limit my time frame to the early 1980's but I still have some steam locomotives and a bunch of rolling stock that would only be appropriate for the late 50s or early 60s.  I bought more structures than I can reasonably put on a 10' shelf layout.  Careful planning will save you a bunch of money and you will still get a lot of enjoyment out of the hobby.
