I agree though, LEGO trains are of comparable cost to comparable quality (...) (19 years ago, 18-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)

In that case LEGO stuff is cheaper. At least the starter sets (...) (19 years ago, 18-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)

Expensive compared to other LEGO sets (due to the cost of the electrics) And more to the point, (...) (19 years ago, 18-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)
