[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CNJ831 Judging by my own running tally and those of others I'm acquainted with in the hobby, the figure typically grows by $15,000 to $20,000 per decade for most dedicated modelers with average-sized layouts. Perhaps not a shocking figure in this day and age of extravagant hobbies but still a lot more than most newbies ever imagine. Hard to believe? Just look at the layouts that appear in MR these days...most are probably in the $25,000 to $75,000 range and many of the larger ones far in excess of that amount. If you don't think so, ask any custom builder what they'll charge you to construct a mid-size layout nowadays! CNJ831 [/quote]That sounds about right. Although the first decade is probably the most expensive, as you're still building benchwork, buying track and scenery items, accumulating tools, and have all those other "start-up" costs associated with beginning any new hobby.
