Those who model continental Europe are spoilt for choice. As an example a "hobby" range DB class 218 diesel can be bought new for as little as £40.00, if however you want an all singing and dancing Fleischmann DCC sound equipped model of the same thing the price is going to be much nearer £200.00

They always will - it' the old horses for courses thing again.
