When I was youngster, I remember Beatties selling locos for around £50. My first two were a Foster Yeoman 59 and King George II. Seemed expensive in the mid 90’s, but when you consider the modern railroad range, I don’t think the prices are too bad. Although my 85th Mallard, Dublo Scotsman and 6203 have just cost me nearly £750. That does seem crazy and certainly not affordable.
