Yep, very big bucks for a fully scenic layout.

Here's afew:

Dunham Studios http://www.dunhamstudios.com/rrcontents.htm

Trainworx http://www.twtrainworx.com/residential.html

SMARTT http://www.smarttinc.com/content/custom-model-railroad-layouts

 I don't have a layout but I've always been intrigued by Dunham Studios.  I think that would be the first one I'd consider.  I also like the Trainworx layouts.

I want to cheat as i don't have a lot of free time and wanted to consider purchasing a layout from a company for o gauge for a 5x10 section. Any advice or recommendations?
