My parents found out about my purchases once and when they saw the receipts,they were mad lets say a steam loco costs $800+ with sound and etc
 
Mr_ Alex it could be worse. you could collect full size trains then see what they have to say.

I use to race R/C cars for one car you were looking at a similar price. $4-500 for a kit, upto $200 for one battery then you would have about 5 or 6 batteries, then the radio gear was about $200+.
 
I keep "looking" at the N-gauge sets made by Bachmann (?) on sale in the UK but never committed to buying one because I'd want to make everything perfectly to scale, the exact colour, with the correct rolling stock....I'd never see the outside of the house again
 
My mum collects models and pictures of trains, planes and fishing vessels. She's not a Aspie, she just likes them rather than flowers or dresses or shoes or make up. My little girl likes toy cars :-) I think she is a Aspie.
 
I'm into it. My Dad got me started as a kid. The last 8 years I haven't done any of it due to raising My daughter and not having the time or money, but She is 9 now and I have been thinking about breaking out my N guage stuff again.
