well n gauge trains came out in 1962 but I can’t find any prices on them but here are some O and S stuff that’s kinda interesting oh and you could buy a house kit from sears in 1963 for 2200 bucks!! How bout a 4x8 layout for less than 8 bucks!Look at what it would have cost in 1925 if made back then.
Might have been a $1.00. Or less. <img src="http://www.modeltrainforum.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Big Grin" class="inlineimg" />
