Excellent. As always. Oh and great shirt! LOL. Seeing the full room gives me more ideas of how I can do mine. Like your room mine is long and narrow. I wanna guess 12x28ish. What I don’t have is the windows as you do. Mine was originally designed as an entertainment viewing room so it artificial lighting only. That can work well too if done correctly, I hope. We need to discuss the “Power Distribution Center” you have and how it functions. I’m getting excited, my custom shelving is being constructed now and the finishing is beginning this week coming up then the cabinets will be delivered and installed. Once that’s done the shelves will be cut and finished then delivered. The guy who is building them is a retired master craftsman and his workshop is small for the job so “bits and bobs” as the Brits would say. Then I’m on to getting everything in a database and stored and the train room layout can begin. Just so you know I’ll be picking your brain after that happen. LOL. Ok my friend, great vid as always and have a great week. Oh and I will get an email to you about the Nichols Smith purchase/delivery and what precipitated that visit. It’s been a long few weeks. Take care Chris! Tim

Can I ask approximately how much 💵💵💵 do you think your layout cost to make? Ballpark. I don't need an exact dollar amount. I'm thinking table materials, track, switches, buildings, bridges, wiring, controllers, command systems, Lionel tmcc remote controllers? Did I miss anything?

Instead of saying that, think, “how can I afford it? What’s my budget? What would I want to model?” If you like size and noise, go with O scale. What a more inexpensive scale that packs a punch? Do n scale. Also start small with something like a 4x8.

Train shows are usually a cheaper way of finding stuff. eBay May have good deals, but be careful. Hobby lobby does offer a few Bachmann starter sets (@ least where I’m based). If you wanna get started with n scale start with locomotives like the Bachmann 0-6-0s or Kato f units. Both are very reliable.
