I've really searched for the HO railcars that fall into the up to 13 dollar range, and it seems a challenge. I find it hard to think a car is worth more than 10 dollars. I've really struggled with engines too. I admit there is some great artwork out there but shelling out 100, 200 or more for a locomotive seems kind of loco to me. I've basically stuck to some basic bachmann stuff and life like, as well as some model power entry level and roundhouse stuff. Some folks claim that the cheap trains are trash but you have to understand when you only have so much dough, you have to make do. dcc, well I haven't ever even considered it. considering computer prices maybe in a few years it will be next to nothing but I figure dc isn't that bad when your careful to learn basic stuff and running just a couple of trains. FOlks say in proportion to video games and such it all equates out, but I still agree with you that it seems like it is indeed an expensive hobby and I wish model companies could do a slightly less detialed version of their things at a more reasonable price.
