<quote> "how do you guys afford this stuff?"</quote> <br /> <br />join a Model Railroad club. gives more room, too. (a Texas hauling 60 cars on the flat and straight is an awesome spectacle even at 1:48) <br /> <br />you'll notice that a lot of people are going to O scale narrow guage-- bigger equipment on the same curves as HO. But the cost is still a little hard to stomach sometimes. <br /> <br />as for intemodal equipment, it depends on the era-- Atlas has some nice die-cast TOFC equipment for a manageable price. You'll probably have to convert it to two rail and shim the couplers, though. (atlas sells the parts on their website) Stay away trom the Atlas 2-rail motive power, though-- we've been having trouble of late. (their SW-9s are decent runners, but they tend to burn up circuit boards. The rest of the stuff is mechanically crap.)
