I've figured out how do deal with the price of track. COCRY 250 aluminimum track + spikes + ties runs out at just under $1.00 a foot. Ya handlaying track is hassel, but there's where the hobby side comes in. I figure I'll save money two ways. First it's less per foot, and the empire is sure to have less track if it's more effort than just doing snap together track. <br /> <br />I think (I'll know more this week) that I have found a viable way to do ladder style road bed for around $0.70 a foot. I hope to lay about 20feet this week. I'll know if my idea works. <br /> <br />The cost of locos is what scared me off. But i'll just go slow, and use some of what I safe on track to buy the locos and RS with. <br /> <br />
