Just out of curiosity (not that I would ever think of buying something like that, NEVER...
), around how much would one have to spend to have a "functional" modern train set?
When you say 'modern' do you mean the newer RC trains with the plastic track?
If so you would expect to pay £80-£100 (sorry I don't know what that is in your currency) for a top dollar VGC complete set.
Working engines on their own wil set you back about £30.
If you want the old style Electric/LGB business like this then it will set you back a fair bit more
