I’m not into model trains so I don’t know if this is right but £550 seems a bit steep. Is this normal?

Seems about the right ballpark for a 5 coach set. A 4 car London Underground S stock model train will set you back about £600. It’s no longer the relatively affordable hobby it was when I were a lad.

It was never a cheap hobby, but it does feel out the reach of even more people these days, not withstanding the amount of space you need to set up a track.
