If I get most of my S gauge sold...........maybe
That's a lot of S-gauge rolling stock to get to $1K. Although a few steam locomotives or premium passenger sets may help get you there a bit quicker. But it can be done!!!
Of course, the other issue is "real estate". I was downstairs this evening packing a few items from my current OGR for-sale listing, and I walked by the box for the Lionel 128 Illuminated Station & Terrace. Now THAT box is H-U-G-E as it is, so I can only imagine the size box for the Leipzig Station -- gotta be even larger!!! Short of having a barn-sized empire or club layout, I can't imagine BOTH occupying space on my humble layout. And then there's also the cool stuff that the folks at TW TrainWorx produce -- it's not tinplate, but their stations are fabulous.
Decisions... decisions...
