I get it! Just be prepared to pay particular attention to getting a good table (the rotating piece with four arms.)
Over the years I've examined a few of the aftermarket imported presses that have been on and off the market, and chatted with the folks making (modifying) them. One company completely removed the table and bolted a thick metal plate to the base of the press.
I think another company locked the turntable in place with a couple of machine screws and drilled a hole for the anvil holder in the appropriate place.
With either of these solutions, you might need a spacer or a post for the base to lift the lower wheel cup away from the plate (turntable) to provide clearance for some work.
Even my LTI / Hobby Horse press needs a spacer for some wheel work. My buddy with a metal lathe made me one when I was using a green Hobby Horse press. The LTI/Hobby Horse press outfit came with a post, so no spacer is needed.
No matter what you choose to do, you probably can't justify it financially, so just relax and spend a few bucks and enjoy the fun of repair work - I do!
I guess this is true. Still, even today trains are expensive. If you think about the value of the trains, and enjoy the work, you will probably find the press and tools to be a good purchase.
Plus, I find uses for the press doing household repairs.
Just recently I helped my buddy attach all the brackets to some reproduction plastic pieces for a pinball machine he is restoring.
The most difficult thing can be finding the correct fasteners.
