My dad was born and raised in a blue-collar (arguably white trash) area of Massachusetts and he and his father had a huge model train collection around the early 90s. A lot of people in the scene (at least in that area at the time) would sell them for relatively cheap and people would trade or buy stuff second-hand.

I wouldn't call it a rich persons hobby in terms of the trains/displays themselves, but if you're seriously hardcore about model trains to where its taking up an entire basement and you want even more, then you're gonna be bleeding money buying property.

This was also true during the 80s. While I never had a train collection myself, I loved admiring other people's collections.
Lots of collection type hobbies require storage and display furniture. This can be just as expensive as the collectibles themselves. Some of the biggest toys available during the 70s and 80s were called "alimony settlement" toys. They were so damned big and pricey. The average home basement could not contain two of them at once.
