I'd really like to get started in the hobby, with a focus on the western logging industry of the 20's or 30's.  I'm having a horrible time (as a newbie) finding an affordable source for Shays in particular or other logging locos in general.  I've been dreaming of doing this for three decades, and now that I have the time, it looks as though it may have "inflated" beyond my reach.  Could anyone give me some direction/advise on sourcing these locos?  If I can find them at all they're like $1200 or unpowered.
