I’ve got two G Scale LokSound installs that will run close to $300 in labor each. Doing a good job and doing things properly and with good workmanship takes time. Ive seen some serious hack jobs come across my bench and the items came to me for repair and were a complete redo. The guy that screws em up will charge you $150 for labor. I just did an early 1990s Fleishmann N scale sound install for a good friend of mine that logged 20 hours of labor. At my rate that would’ve been $600. But he’s done a lot for me and he’s a good friend so I billed him at half the time and a discounted rate. People say these are simple and while to me some of them are to a lot of folks it can be way out of their league. If you have the skill set, do it yourself otherwise find somebody qualified to do the work. I’m expensive and I bill time and material. Despite my prices, I have plenty of work because my customers appreciate what I do for them.
