I'm an Electronic Test Engineer. Make a pretty good wage but not rich by any stretch of the imagination. Got a mortgage, doing some remodeling and getting this place in shape. I guess I spend an average of about $20 a week on the hobby. My layout is HO and measures 15x10x5 feet. I have about 40 locomotives, mostly steam and about 150 pieces of rolling stock. I usually run 4 loco's at a time and 25 pieces of rolling stock. Lucky for me my local hobby shop lets its regulars put items on lay-away and that's how I get most of my more expensive items. I usually splurge on expensive items on my birthday and Christmas. I'm also a Ham Radio operator so I also support that beast. That hobby is a holdover from my former occupation as a naval radiomorse operator. Also have a collection of telegraph keys, some over 100 yrs old, that were used both in wireless/radio and railroad work.
