<p>I dont know. I look at each part of the railroad from the track on up to scenery as a seperate project.</p><p>I would grab the train because some of the stuff is limited or out of production. That way you know you got it and can box it until you are ready to run it. With today's emphasis on pre-orders, you better get that train while you see it. The next time you go back to actually buy it will see it already bought and gone.</p><p>Track and switches you can always get. It's best to identify the need for specific trackage and fill that need as you go. I usually work at the mainline, then staging then yards and finally towns and industry. It's best to go to the Hobby Shop and buy a little track that you know you are going to use RIGHT away than to go all out and end up with a truckload of stuff you dont know what to do with.</p><p>Slow and easy does it.</p><p>Scenery, wiring, structures and all the other things have a cost. When taken into consideration overall, that little railroad can get a little bit pricey.</p><p>Those of us who are on a budget are always looking to make old Abe groan under the stress of trying to get something at a dime to the dollar.</p>
