Model railroad layouts plans

Chris has been in touch. He’s the chap that makes layouts to order. He’s in the UK:

“Hi all,

take a look at the layout i have just finish for a buyer in Leed’s.

He had a 5×5 N gauge to start with then had to do a second part of a 3×5, and now he is think about going 4×5 more.

Chris”

It’s a cracking layout.

But I’m sure you’re all thinking what I was: How much did he charge? Here’s what Chris came back with:

“Hi its an 8×5 n gauge with working car lights,street lights,house lights, also comes with working points gaugemaster Q controller its a 4 track layout & it cost with my time £2100 that is with table legs. Many Thanks, Chris”.

That’s about $2,600 US dollars in case you’re wondering… eye watering stuff.

That’s all for today folks.

Please do keep ’em coming.
