What kind of expense is involved with acquiring new or used railroad cars or locos? <br />I’ve been in model railroading for years and read most every publication available to the general public, and I’ve never heard/read how much a new GE or GM locomotive cost to buy or lease. Same goes for cars new and used. Most modelers create their own little railroad empire and often say that his/her railroad run on a shoestring and must purchase old first and second generation diesels and old shabby cars. But what kind of money would a small short line have to pony up to equip their railroad. I understand any values would be ballpark figures, but it would be nice to be in the park. <br />
