No matter how you heat your home, you WILL be paying more this coming winter season. If you cut your own wood to fuel wood stoves, you'll be paying more for the gas for your power saw. If you heat with gas, propane, or oil, you'll be paying more for that fuel. If you heat with coal, you'll be paying for the cost of getting that coal to you. And if you heat with electricity, you can be sure that the power companies will be passing their costs along to you. <br /> <br />And, of course, the costs of everything else will be similarly affected, from the price of food items to the cost of heating the stores you shop in, including shipping costs for those trains you buy on eBay or elsewhere. <br /> <br />What impact that will have on anyone's hobby budget depends solely on how well-off the individual happens to be; how well he/she has saved in advance for situations like this; and how much faith he or she has in the future prospects for a leveling-off of fuel prices. I, for one, figure we're in for a long term of $3 a gallon gas (at minimum), along with significantly increased prices on just about every consumer-related product and service. And this doesn't even take into account the increased costs you'll find for plywood and other lumber products when you want to expand that existing train layout. With the increased need for such products along the Gulf Coast, and the anticipated long-term shortage of supply, you can be quite sure that you'll be paying a king's ransom for such items.
