Is the trend for new engines that need ever wider diameters a good idea?

Hi HJ, <br />I guess that dealer is right, you must be a hard man to sell to indeed! I can see your sentiment about era etc but I look at some things in our local shop and the adverts in Garden Railways and I can feel control slipping away. I also bought a lot of secondhand on my first set up which in turn, when I sold it, became third hand! Saying that I never throw a box away and that gear went back on the dealers shelves like new. At the moment I have 1:29 and 1:20.3 so it'll be different stock at different times depending on how I feel. As Vic says, let's enjoy it whilst we can afford it because as things cost more and more you will probably find the owners will be reluctant to sell because of the huge loss they would have to take or conversely people will buy them as investments and the resale price will be higher than new. Crazy old world, especially for Blain!! - nice one Ian, the buyer controls when enough act together. <br />Rene, <br />Do you feel an editorial coming on here about this very subject, it's going to roll & roll by the look of it. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
