<p>I feel the need to repeat myself - this hobby is as expensive as you allow it to be. For the past years, I am forced to do my model railroading at less than a shoestring budget. I can´t afford all those nice locos you see advertised, but so what! You don´t need a basement filling model railroad empire, stacked with 50+ premium locos and populated by 500 cars to enjoy the hobby. A small shelf switcher, a couple of locos and cars, a few lengths of flex track and some turnouts and your are in business. No money to buy RTR buildings? Scratchbuild them, using materials you find in your household! There is a nice thread on modeling on the cheap, just take a look at those many hints and tips and, please, stop whining about the cost of the hobby! Better get going and do some modeling!</p>
