Yes, you can add another vote for an on-site Dunham Studios "mini-university." Just the visit to the facility would be worth the cost

Were the prices for these entry level layouts announced at York. Perhaps once Clarke get home and unloaded he will fill in this detail. I,for one, am very interested in a layout of this size and quality.

I did not take photos to make sure my memory is perfect, but I am 99.99% sure the figure 8 layout was $5000, the Angela Trotta one was between $9,000 and $10,000, and the 2nd Lionchief Layout Clarke brought up later in the thread was a little more than the figure 8 one(maybe ~ $6K +/- ?). The last one I don't remember quite as well, so I may be off there.

And there we were at York. By the way, many thanks to the DOZENS of OGR readers who came to thank us for this thread and wanted to see what they'd been reading about. It was most gratifying to hear how many of you got usable ideas and advice from our sharing this story with you.

For those folks who asked about prices, below are the Special-for-York prices which we will hold until the end of April for all of you OGR'ers. After that ,we'll go public and have to raise them. The Special-for-York prices are just about our cost for creating these layouts. I think they're great for the home but they're also wonderful for putting in store windows, donating to a children's hospital, an assisted living facility or a retirement community's community center.
Lion Chief (Scout) Layout which includes 2 Lion Chief trains: $5,000; Base $350.00 plus shipping and all applicable taxes.
Two level Figure 8 Layout includes 3 Lion Chief trains):$6,500.00; Base $350.00 plus shipping and all applicable taxes.
Angela Trotta Thomas's Winter Wonderland: $9,500.00; lighted base $550.00 plus shipping and all applicable taxes.
And, hey, if you want to take a ride up to the studio and pick your layout up and take a tour, please do.
I posted a couple of short videos that I took at the York show on the Dunham Studios facebook site. Take a look at them. They're fun to watch and give an idea of what it takes to transport those little guys.

When I had to borrow Clarke's camera I found this mini-video from York which you might enjoy.

The layouts are all very nice! It is good to see the trains in action on the layouts!
Dunham Studios posted:It's even simpler than all that. The Remote Holders are on sale at Trainworld and many other train stores. I got these from Trainworld. I find that, without these holders, controllers are the easiest things to mislay or lose.
C.D.
are these the holders?

Clark and Barb,
Awesome Job! If i wanted to order the of the Trestles used to hold the figure 8, is this something you a can quote?
Thanks,

Yes! We can do this either in "Kit Form"--that is computer cut plywood with base to be attached (an easy slip-fit after a little sanding) or fully assembled and painted. We'd also need to know quantity as well. For example, two pieces (each) will be more expensive than ten would be. The labor for two is the same as the labor for ten. Let us know. And if there's anyone else out there who's interested, please let us know.
I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THE KIT FORM

Another work of art. Amazing
These are indeed holders "so like" them as to be the same. Having read the ad copy you supplied for the holders in question, I'd say that if they're not the same ones, they're just as good. For those of you interested in price quotes, please contact me at www.dunhamstudios.com or clarke@dunhamstudios.comand I'll be happy to quote for you.
