The cost of a T gauge Railway system

[E231densha]

Hi all,

 

I'm a Japanese rail enthusiast, and coming upon this website, you've all inspired me to model railway. May i just know the cost of a T gauge railway set, (with some tracks, a controller and some wires and a train)?

 

Cheers,

Alex

Are you aware that there are not yet any switches?  I believe they were due in August 2009, but.......

a train set is around $40-50 (4 cars with 2 powered) and a loop of track and controller (complete with two reversing sensors) is about the same. so with shipping about $120.

 

the usual japanese train shops online like hobbyworld (http://www.hwjapan.com/), hobbysearch (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/), plazajapan (ebay http://stores.ebay.com/plazajapan) all have them. you can also order them in the usa from the us distributor (http://trainaidsa.com/)

 

not bad on the starting price. track is about $1.50 a section, around the same as unitrak/finetrack

 

points coming soon hopefully along with improvements in the drive trains and motors.

 

cheers
