This is not a platform for my own opinions about state of the art systems, or what system is the best, or conventional vs software. It is a simple question to those who have done comparison shopping versus catalog prices. If I were to buy one averaged cost state of the art engine with one state of the art control system, what would my range of cost be? Is there a significant difference between MTH and Lionel in terms of an averaged cost?
Also..are there any online demonstrations of how these systems work? No hobby shops where I live.
Why am I asking? For my own private consideration not to create rants etc. I am looking for information of those in this market..just averaged costs. Not suggested full retail costs but from folks who have sought bargains etc.
