BobbyD posted:Ken-Oscale posted:Bobby, I haven't done a tally of track section costs, as I have all the track and need I think, two turnouts. Fastrack is not cheap, nor is Legacy, nor is.... Anyway, its a fair question but I don't have an answer, which of course also varies depending on vendor, and the shipping& tax. And whether you are talking about manual/remote/command turnouts.
I figure the turnouts are the major expense. Tally that up an add 15% perhaps for a SWAG: 14 turnouts - if command control, around $100 each? I mention that I have moved to track power for my turnouts and many accessories, and command control for the turnouts so I don't have to run wire for remotes, and can run everything from handhelds.
Thanks Ken, I was just ball parking it. I have given sets with Fastrack to my friends with young families and one of them might be able to build this in their garage. I agree the command control turnouts are the way to go, and looking forward to your build!!
BobbyD, I see that Nasau Hobbies has a very impressive sale on Fastrack, including the turnouts!!
