Just Think if Quality Were High and Prices Were Low
Posted by richhotrain on Sunday, June 1, 2014 6:05 AM

I get so tired of reading about how expensive is the hobby.

Can you imagine high quality at a low price?

I am on a fantasy trip this morning.

$100 for a highly detailed, fine running diesel or steamer with sound.

$10 for a nice turnout.

$20 for a real nice Walthers Cornerstone structure.

Atlas flex track, readily available in quantity, $2 a stick.

Oh, and it's all made in the good old USA.

Care to add to this short list?
