Model Railroading Needn’t Be Expensive.

The hobby of model railroading can be enthralling, time consuming, at times frustrating and also extremely rewarding. To limit frustrations it is essential not to skimp on the essentials, like a decent locomotive and a good power pack.

You don’t have to spend megabucks but you do need to get something that will meet your needs and be functional. You can always add to your train layout or upgrade as you become more involved in the hobby of model railroading. So, it’s not a problem if you can’t afford the state of the art stuff from day one.

How much money to spend is really up to the individual. Some people are happy to just stick with a basic model railroad layout, whilst many model railroaders spend thousands of dollars a year on their model railroading hobby and derive thousands of hours of pleasure and satisfaction in return.
