Buildings didnt appear to me to be very detailed/weathered. Heck, I have only built one layout so far, and I think my buildings are just as good. Havent even tried weathering them yet. But, if he can get 18k, more power to him

lets just pretend you have won the lottery for twenty million bucks, or bill gates is your dad, and you are in the process of furnishing your new "cottage" at the beach....

how does it look now?

being train people, we should already know; perspective can be important.

Looks really cool. But 18,000 is a little outta my price range. But it is not a bad price like ereimer said.


He was being sarcastic.[:D]

There's a company in MR that custom builds these. I bet you could get one to your own spec a heck of a lot cheaper.

It didn't move....

$18,000 was over the top.

You could build the layout - get a round trip ticket on any train trip(US or CN) - and put a good down payment on a new pickup for less - anyone willing to pay that isn't smat enough to have the money to buy it!

This is what happens when you leave the cap off the Super Glue too long!
I wouldn't give him $800 bucks for this piece of crap!!!!
I just finished laying track and switches (22) on my new layout and didn't spend half that much and I got exactly what I wanted.
This is for someone with more money than BRAINS!!!!!

still looks expensive

I just had another look at this closed unsold item ... and ACCORDING TO EBAY, SIMILAR ITEMS (whatever that means ?) were listed in a range of prices of $7.99 - $95.00 USD. [(-D][(-D][(-D]

this post can now be closed, until the seller re-lists the item...

cheers, krump

There was a local GXT show this weekend in Puyallup, Wa and one of the vendors had a coffee table "Z" layout about 1/5th the size of this and he was asking only $750.00. It had only one elongated circle of track but did have much better scenery ( mountainous timber with raging river and two lane state road). It looked pretty sharp for a "regular" sized coffee table.....Still too much for me, tho....
