It definitely affects the value. If it wasn't for the technology and the advancements this hobby has made over the last decade or so, I wouldn't have any interest in the hobby. For me the "collecting" aspect is non-existent. And really not exciting. I never look at a model train and think "wow this is a true collectors piece". They may be nice now, but in 10 years we'll be lucky if we can keep them in good running order. Like others have said. I run everything I have. And with the internal electronics and the way they change....... yeah definitely like a Beta-Max....
