I am just getting really interested into model railroads. My father has some Lionel stuff that has always attracted me as a child but he never got into the hobby. Any way I am interested in finding Norfolk & Western 611 Steam. Is this going to cost big dollars or is there plenty out there. HO scale is fine. I have seen a few on ebay but I wanted to know if any N scale existed TIA, Mark

Be aware that in HO there is an old version and a new version of the Bachmann class J. The new version is a more accurate model with more correct contours on the boiler and running boards, and has a much better drive and motor. It makes the old model obsolete. If you want a model for static display, you should be able to find a used early version for under $50. GQ
