Who remembers these? I had 2 motorcycles, the funny car, and the dragster!
They can be had for $2,000 and up but shipping can be $10,000 (by truck).How much for a caboose? Could be an interesting retro tiny house. Or were those all gone 30-40 years ago, like the Jeeps in crates full of Cosmoline?
Do they go "I think I can?"I have two steam engines on the shelf in front of me.

$30k will easily buy a used locomotive at auction. If you can do some of the restoration, you can get them for much less.
Storage is a bit of a problem for most people.
I did the signalling software and was systems analyst for the computer system that runs our trains here in Melbourne for about six years. Biggest train set I have ever played with .Or, I don't know.... When some - expletive deleted - dispatcher isn't paying attention and allows a train into you working limits, and you are in a narrow canyon.... on single track,.... well that was pretty 'heart stopping!'
As to "Prototype Operation": Folks! If you like trains that much, get a job playing with the real ones! Not a bad career, and it gives one the money to play with Rockets!...
The Katy is the K&T Line. Went from Kansas to Katy, Texas. (Katy, TX is named after The Katy.) Houston has the Katy Freeway, which used to be the right-of-way for The Katy.
