Paul - that's how I am doing it. About $1500-$2000 startup and then add on as I can afford it both fiscally and timewise. I was just a bit surprised at the costs. I do however, like RTR stock and it is costly. Not that I don't like to build models, I am actually a pretty good modeler, but I prefer RTR and then superdetail it myself (i.e. Walthers Heavyweights with DCC lighting and passengers inside). Just that little project will run me about $55 per car (labor not included). <br /> <br />I'm in it for the long haul and as many have said, it is no more expensive than many other hobbies or activities out there [8D] <br /> <br />Mike (who watches the Giants beat the Redskins on DirecTV with no hogs around to harass me. LOL!)
