~~ Track: between $3.50 and $4.00 a foot...
~~ Engines about the same price as HO or N "good" manufacturers.. Starting at $120.00 to the "perfect models: Ex.: GG-1 $3000.00 ------- 2-8-2 Steam (electric powered) $9000.00 Real steam is sometimes higher!! -- I build my own out of wood and just buy the "motors" for around $25.00 on E-bay
~~ Buildings start at $80.00 each!! -- which is why I build all my own stuff

What I don't like about "the hobby" is: As long as I have been in it, (since 1982) I have never liked creating scenery. I like doing buildings, but don't like building the walkways, streets, sidewalks back yard details etc..
