  Either way: You'll never financially recover from them.

  I think lego would be good if there was more and less expensive

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRelnoffm28&amp;t=387">6:27</a> umm, the same applies to model trains aswell. It just they get more complicated when you make it more complex.

  As much as I like realism and scenery, I choose Lego. You can build almost anything with bricks.

  Good to hear your take on the differences between the two hobbies. One thing you didn’t mention is *space*. I like the flexibility of Lego (I’m very indecisive!), but I don’t have the space to run Lego trains – they’re just far too big. If I had the skill and patience for traditional railway modelling, I’d probably choose N gauge, which is much, much smaller.

  I love how they put Bachman on the cover when Bachman is seen as toy trains by most prototypical modelers.

  MOC’s and 3rd party bricks are the way to go to keep costs down with Lego trains. Letbricks and Aliexpress ftw.

  I have a large 8 wide Lego garden layout that I built with my kids. I chose Lego because I can have my more serious 8 wide locomotives and rolling stock, and my son and daughter have theirs in 6wide. We have from 80+ cars being pulled by my ES44AC’s with a blunami chip and custom batteries, to my kids’ Thomas and Friends loco’s pulling 2-3 cars each on their “Island of Sodor.” Best part is that if we drop one or a component burns out, they are easily rebuildable or replaceable. Lego is the way to go for creativity, flexibility and reliability.
