As for electrical the cost of operating a layout: <br /> <br />Assuming 10 cents per KHW..... <br /> <br />300 watts for big layout, will run you something like $0.03 US per hour. <br />1000 watts for lighting (very well lit) $0.10 US per hour. <br /> <br />Now for the other charges...... <br /> <br />Getting a hankering for a new steamer..... $75 to $1,000 per hour..... <br />Wanting to add to the cars, weathering, new scenery, buildings, $50 per hour.... <br />Wathcing the wife read the bill for the whole thing..... priceless! Rund, duck & cover!!! <br /> <br />Mark in Utah
