I have been digging around online Pick-a-brick to find out the various
elements I would need to get the basic stuff to get a train going (wheels,
axles, plates, buffers, etc). Besides finding the right elements (I am using
the parts list from the latest Cargo Train instruction booklet), I am finding
that it is adding up to quite a packet.
Would it not make sense for TLG to release a poly bag of these elements? I am
going to guess it is a pipe dream - not gonna happen. Perhaps TLG will release
el-cheapo cars for building bigger trains?
What do other do? Buy entire sets for the parts? I did notice that there are
folks who use regular bricks to fill in where ever possible.

There used to be a polybag of train elements,
here, it had an MSRP of
about $15. Though at least towards the end of availability, lego would offer
them with 10-15% off in large quantities. Last time I checked, the PAB prices
were still about $15 for the comparable set of the modern versions of the parts.
Almost everything on PAB has a premium price, but I think $15 is hard to beat
because the parts are only available elsewhere in small numbers in large sets.
