The New York New Haven|Hartford Railroad... Installing this week!

Wow!  As you can see from my forum name my favorite railroad is the NH.  I love the model of the NH, CT station.  

I wish that I had the space for a layout like this.  I am looking forward to seeing the "rest of the photos."

Very cool great job 😀

WOW. Looks like a lot of action to be had in that much space! Very cool.

Install week completed... check it out

Great job....long live NYNH&H.....

WOW! Classy set up!!!

You guys are hired as soon as I win the lottery

Looks great!  Of course I knew it would!  The owner has a really nice room to house the layout, and looks to me like he plans to make up and break up trains and run lots of them!  I'll bet that room will really be humming with activity soon!!!

Yowzer! Forget the gold watch, I'll take one of these!

Are those Glen Snyder shelves set in about the periphery? Nice touch, looks fantastic.

Thank you! And yes, those are Glenn Snyder shelves

Another masterpiece layout by the best in the business.

Wow! Nice layout! The finished room setting w/layout is amazing!

It's fun watching you guys do your thing and share pics with us commoners.

awesome!

I need to win the lottery as well. You know that old saying, so much to do, so little time, and of course, time is money.

I love the buildings, warehouse especially.

Very nice, I hope he enjoys it. About 12 x 30?

That’s awesome.  I love it.  1x6 oak fascia.  I remember making some of those cuts on my own layout.  1x4 primed pine framing. I think.  That’s what I like too.  Great process, fascinating.  That must be a lot of fun to do.  Keep up the good work.  I like it!

What does something like that cost -- ballpark?   A large range to protect the privacy of the buyer is obviously understandable.

The answer to your question "how much does it cost" has several variables to take into consideration so I'll boil it down to a simple formula to take into consideration about investing in a TW TrainWorx Custom Layout. Based on square footage, our low end price per sq. ft. is $350.00 and on the high end it can go up to $700/800 per square foot. It all depends on the size/shape/switches/signals/mountains/levels/custom models/scenery/finishes and location (in terms of installation expense. I can say, we've never had a client regret their investment and we've literally been told that the ROI is "longevity" in the sheer joy it gives our custom layout owner because he's finally... running his trains and playing on the RR rather than... working on the RR.

Also, we've had several customer's come back to us to enhance their layouts... again because the investment is worth it and they "want more"!

Thank YOU Traintastic Tom and fellow TW TrainWorx custom layout owner Please send our best to Margie!

Dorcie,

Great answer to Ray's question!!  I certainly believe that you have never had a dissatisfied customer.  Just looking at the progress and end photographs of some of your projects tells me you work with the customer throughout the project.  There are no surprises, except that it turns out better than the buyer hopes for.  

Yes, this owner can certainly sit down and enjoy the layout as opposed to the tedious job of running a railroad when he was employed!!

I would definitely give you all a call and say, "this is what I'm looking for, amaze me.", and that would probably easily be the case. I would also say both Roger and Mike would take turns putting me in headlocks to keep me out of the way while they worked(just kidding).

Whenever I do get to the point where I'm calling, I know I will be far from disappointed, and very sure I'd be calling back for add-ons(provided there would be enough room in the house).

Always fun to be able to take pictures after the installation is complete and the customer has had the opportunity to make it... HIS

Enjoy!

Thank you.  That's really helpful. 

They didn't have to install new breaker panels did they? This shouldn't need more than 1.21 gigawatts, right?
