I allow myself £30 a week.,which equals about $57.Then again,like Kevin,this is what I allow myself.I rarely spend it .Once I've brought my wood and bits of plastic I am happy for a few months.A typical scratchbuild will cost me £15 ($28) for the bodywork ect but will cost me $100 to import the powered truck.Even importing,I still save a fortune compared to prices in the UK.But then again,I cannot buy what I am building so how can I put a price on it.Mind you,I did spend £1000 ($1,306.85 ) last year to expand my track a bit.Even though nothing came out of the house budget I think the wifey would have rather spent it on something else.The way I look at it is that we both earn a fair bit of money with our jobs.You can't take it with you. <br />If it comes down to a nice meal out in London for the evening,the trains always lose out.It's a hobby after all !
