Well let's see. $25.00-$50.00 a month. Hmmm, well, that'll buy you some track, and some road bed. I'd say, seeing as how big your layout is, it wouldn't take long to get enough track to make your layout operational (even less if you already have track). Once you have that down, invest yourself in Athearn Blue Box kits. Then if you save for 2 months or more you might get ahold of another locomotive. Last you can start buying some scenery and structures. There are also plenty of books on shoestring budget model railroads. An even better way to find info that'll help would be to join the TAMR, which features a "Layout on a Shoestring Budget" section in their monthly news letter, the Hotbox.
