If I was independently wealthy and could build a house around a train layout, it would be a definite item. For the price of a good used car at around $8,000 with the powered display stand 59968 ... You get a 50" long (that is it takes up the ENTIRE mantel over the fireplace (wont fit in normal bookcases at all). Weighs 15.6 kilos... about 35 lbs ! Man, so who if anyone is looking at getting this here? Capture.PNG (1,387kb) downloaded 69 time(s).

Anyway we can see from other perspective, I mean price/length based classification. Compared to the Northlander (they almost have the same length), the Northlander is much cheaper per meter!

After many years , which could be 10-20, you may get an updated model. Generally if you want a model it is recommended that you purchase the model when it is made. Looking to pick up a used one or hoping the supply lasts long is risky.
