Larry, The newer engines don't need to be milled, with the exception of Life Like who seem to want to remain in the dark ages when it comes to DCC ready locomotives in N scale (to the non-DCC literate crowd, before the flames start - DCC ready does not mean DCC decoder equiped). There are some who are naturally attracted to N scale because of its "jewel like" mechanics. I was attracted to it because I could have an N scale empire or a medium sized HO layout - I opted for the empire - glad I did. At the time, I didn't know I would "fall" for the really modern stuff, like AC4400 and the larger three axle SD series of engines. Again, you can only spend what you can only spend, you money doesn't scale out unfortunately (that would mean I could buy more in N scale). So my one year budget would hold true whatever scale I was in. I tend to spend on average around a $1000 a year so that would be spent on model railroad goodies regardless of scale.
