Here are more model trains I got from the internet Class 170 cross country (It comes as a three car set for about £130 (brand new) Class 221(super voyager) You can’t get it in cross country livery only virgin trains old livery It’s about £250 Class 143 pacer In arriva trains wales livery About £124 Class 101 These trains are about £160 and I think rising due to collector buying these often. That’s it for now
Nice models — I do like to point out that for @ £120 - £250 you get one model in one livery . Hence why I like TSW and TrainSim 2019 — much easier on the pocket book than real Model Railroading. Just an observation.
I don't think this point is made often enough. Not to mention the space and time a model railway takes to build.
Yes model railroading can be excessively expensive these days. I do both - model railroading and TSW. TSW is far less expensive than actual modelling. Typically a locomotive these days is $100+ upwards and the good stuff is average $250-500. And now with the ability to customize equipment in TSW and as has been mentioned above - you can build your own railways far cheaper in TSW. The only thing is, you can't just have and run all your own stuff all the time in TSW... yet !
Is the 170 a 00 model? If so would you have a link to where you saw it as these days that is very good value.
Apparently I did. Is that problematic? There's lots of interesting older threads. No reason we can't still respond to them that I can see.
