Im on a strict budget and ,I know sometimes the cost of modeling can be expensive. With all different gadjets out there , like DCC and all the annimated structures.Sure it would be nice to own them. The hobbie shop ,I buy from is a great place, They have a wide section and they give you good discounts on items.and they have a lay-away plan the best option for me. I use this option most the time.(example,every friday.Ill put $5.00 to $10.00 a week on something.) Its a real satisfaction to finnally have it. I've bought a lot of used engines (a ) they work just as good most the time. I remember the first brand new engine , I ever bought. It was a Athearns Genesis SD70 IL. CENTRAL $100.00 . I got it out ran it and loved it .It ran so smooth and out pulled all my other engines. Thats the most ive ever paid for an engine. It took me awhile to get it. I do agree prices are high on wonderful things.I make a lot of things too, like bridge and trestles and structures. Building things from scratch are just as nice too. One time I picked up a MTH wish book from the hobbie store .Brought it to work just to pass the time.I remember some of the reactions from people I work with. they asked me ,do you pay that for sets you run. I said heck no!! I told them MTH is one of the top makers,I just like to look and dream. Model railroading is my hobbie,I love it ,its rewarding an expensive at times,but worth it.
