How much can we justify spending?

[ezdays]

Don,Even if I had the extra wherewithal I sure wouldn't spend it on a high dollar DCC/Sound locomotive since I already have a Bachmann S4 with DCC/Sound..I'm eagerly awaiting Bachmann's GP9 with DCC/Sound.

Many complain about Bachmann's decoder but,it does everything I require-speed steps and momentum.

Interesting thought, but what if we all had unlimited funds to buy whatever we wanted, just what would be buy? Would we decide that we wanted to go with the best DCC and sound system money could buy, then buy all new engines equipped accordingly? :? I suppose we could simply scrap everything we have and watch one of those companies that advertise in MRR build us that 1000 square foot layout that we dreamed someday of owning? Perhaps we would build a layout fitting for a $6200 shovel and buy a few of them and some others of equal value, just to make our layouts more realistic. :o Or...would we just go a bit more than we do already and buy just a few things that we've always wanted, but thought were beyond our present means? After all, don't we get enjoyment with what we are doing now and really don't need a lot of expensive stuff to keep us happy.

If I had unlimited funds to spend, I might go over to DCC and add sound. I might retrofit a few of my engines and buy a few more already equipped for DCC. I might even hire someone to clean and repair my track and to install new track when needed since doing trackwork is the one thing about the hobby that I really don't enjoy and therefore, don't do that well. Who knows, I might just buy a bigger house with room for a bigger layout, then switch to HO so I don't have so much trouble getting all the wheels on the tracks as I do with N scale. If it weren't for the last two items, I know I'd run trains more often, and so that's probably where I'd spend some of that money.

What would you all do if you had unlimited funds to spend on your railroad??????
