Trains are hard to find on the (loacl) used market. However, when you do
find one they are quite well looked after. Sets like the 4559 can be had for
~£50 or less. The good thing about the 4559 is that it is still quite cheap,
so it is easy(ish) to get extra carriages.
If you want a chaep/new set, if I were you I'd buy the 3225 (you'll need
track for this one) or 4565 or 4560 and a transformer (I can give you one
for ~£10) and start from there. The 4565 / 4560 can be had cheap on
www.toycity.dk, for the 3225 speak to busy bee. I think of all these the
4565 is best value for money.
Everyone will tell you the 4558 is the one to get.... my one is still in the
post - I have no opinion on this yet. I have a 4551, which I am not very
impressed with.
Remember - you'll need track as the basic oval is just too small.
