I agree with Mike, starting a new layout in 1999/2000, new Atlas O track, switches, Gargraves and Ross custom track, Trains, controllers, cars, bench work, screws, bolts, plywood, lumber, homasote, paint, scenery material, track lighting, yes, one could easily spend over $5K a year. I can remember when $12K a year was easy to spend, but at the prices today, one could spend So Much More... (average $2K per year now) We do need to watch what we say, our wives might be reading???? Remember 1998- 1999, Lionel came out with the Allegheny/Big Boy steamers, Wow, they added up quick…. Happy Railroading Everyone
