Your trains are worth more than your,, car,, all cars/trucks,, house,, all your investments put together,, a Mclaren F1 road car (about 1.2 to 1.8 million).

Mine are certainly worth more than my car, but that's a pretty easy mark, since I drive a 93 GMC pickup with 208,000 miles. Now the house is a different story, as it was built in part to have a monster layout in the basement. I think I have my priorities straight.[swg]

Worth more than my old pickup truck but worth much less than the spousal support $$$ being stripped from my military retirement.

If I were to total my '93 T-Bird I might get enough to buy a top of the line engine( SP cab forward).

baseball cards from the late 80's, early 90's.

89 chevy caprice that is almost ready for the junkyard.

Now, if you were talking about money spent and not actual worth, then the list would be longer. ;)

94 Ford Club Wagon, in which I put $50.00 worth of gas yesterday pushing the gas guage to just past 1/2 full! At a whopping 10mpg I might make it to thursday before I refuel, ouch in the pocketbook.

My trains are worth more than my '81 chevy pickup.

Money value wise, my trains are worth more than my PC, stereo, TV, roller skates, PS2 games, CDs, camera, and so on, a couple thousand dollars there.

But, emotional value wise, they are worth more than all of my material possessions combined.
