I agree witth orsonoroy that though we may seem to spend a lot on trains the cost is over many years. Mostt of the huge layouts have been wworks in progress for years. You buy a car or an engine here or there. It is a labor of love and sometimes we do lose track (no pun intended) of how much we actually spend. Another factor is how much scenery is actually on our layout. If your modelling a desert then your cost will be a lot cheaper then if your modeling the mountains in Maine. <br />I think we do loose some money rebuilding but for the most part I've been able to salvage most of my old layouts. <br />Most of my cars were actually purchased used from train shows. I know since christmas time I've probably spent 1000 and I'm not even 1/3 of the way done. My layout will probobly never get into MR but I can live with that. What I'm looking forward to is seeing the face of my 10 year old cousin from texas when he comes to see it and that will repay me for all tmoney I put into it. <br />Andrew
