<p>Well, model railroading is an investment, but not in money terms. It is an investment into fun, entertainment and relaxation. Aside from very rare tin plate models of the beginnings of model railroading, who achieve skyrocketing prices at auctions (when in mint condition), all equipment rather depreciates in value, unless you are prepared to wait for 60 - 80 years. When you are forced to sell your prized collection, like I had to, your are lucky to achieve 40 - 50 % of your initial investment. That hurts!</p> <p> </p>
