It's the age old question, are model railways too expensive? Every time I release a video it seems there's always someone complaining about the cost of the hobby and to a certain extent I agree but often it detracts from the actual topic of the video.

So here's a video fully dedicated to discussing if model railways are too expensive and if so, why? As I'm sure you can imagine it's a tricky topic to tackle with a lot of nuances - more than I can put in a reply to a comment anyway.

But why are models and layouts so expensive? Are the manufacturers being greedy or is there some justification or reason behind it? Can you still enjoy model railways with a limited budget or should we accept that this is a hobby that is for those with a bit of disposable income? Watch on to find out...
