It has been said that G scale means expensive, and like lots of statements the truth is "it depends". Those who want live steam and super detail can pay for it. There is also the question of "new and shiny" vs the used and 'played with'. Prices originally looked very comparable with HO/OO scale and am discovering that I may not have compared like with like. It may seem like I have bottomless money pit for purchases but the following illustrate how "if it looks right, and the price is right, it can be right". Possibly it also reflects my learning about descriptions on things on Ebay, especially if unboxed.
The following are pictures of the stake wagons featured earlier. The first one has the buffer and the (detachable) vacuum pipe for the brakes. On the second model its lost its vacuum pipe and the the third has lost its buffer and pipe. The effect from my viewpoint of running stuff in the garden (where the originals may well have got lost in previously) is minimal.
