Hi everyone and thanks for checking this thread. I am an on/off model railroad fan and am back to collect some locos for display and collecting purposes. My finances do not allow the over thousand dollar brass locos, so thats out of the question. Whats a good company to start with, having prices in the 100-200 dollar range(or lower) that is worth getting a nice variety of locos and cars from. I understand there will be many opinions on this, and welcome all view points. My goal over the next few years is to get a nice display case full of different model locos and interesting cars. Also, when purchasing these engines, since I will not run them ever as I dont have a layout, should I be concerned with sound and dcc options or should I get the standard model as people will want to add their own sound preferences years down the road, or as technology changes. I do understand these lower cost cars will not appreciate in value like the brass may, but id rather not be holding onto ones that are worthless in 10 or 20 years either.
So i ask for ideas? where should I be looking to start? If you were to start collecting low to midprice locos and cars---what would you get.
I cant wait to see the varied opinions and answers this may stir up
