Heh, I've got the 'Yard Bull' PC set myself. Picked it up just for the IHC/Mehano 0-8-0 (It's just the IHC 2-8-0 with the lead truck removed). Runs decently, needs a few detail teaks though (And it will get them) <br /> <br />Yesterday, I saw George's Trains selling IHC CN 0-8-0's for $140CDN, identical down to the road number of the one in the President's Choice set. <br /> <br />As to low-budget railroading, well in HO Blue-box is your friend. Cheap, reliable Diesels and cheap, reliable cars for not very much money. N doesn't really have a Blue-box equivalent, but buy 1 good engine (Maybe even used) and some cars. I'm thinking of picking up a bit of N-Scale to make a small, portable layout, likely just a used GP or RS, a dozen cars and a caboose.
