“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.”
Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT

On a locomotive not working: attend a NMRA division meeting. You’ll almost certainly encounter people who can at least diagnose the issue and maybe even fix it. Membership will provide continuing (reciprocating) support no matter your level.
The cost would pend on your limitations. How much or little you want
You know better than to ask that question.
But my answer is " not as much as I would have spent on booze and gambling"😂🤣😂🤣😂
Them: How much does your layout cost?
Me: Yes.
I haven't watched this video yet, but right off I'm going tell you that you've broken one of the most sacred rules of men: never, NEVER! disclose how much your hobby actually costs. My gawd, what if my wife stumbles on this video and starts asking questions?
How much did MRR2 cost?
I’m somewhat new to your channel, having only subscribed recently. Maybe I haven’t seen enough of your videos but I don’t see that any of your rolling stock or engines are weathered (at least not in this video). Is this something you prefer not to do? Thank you! Great content and presentation!
wow I have 70K in mine for 4 years
Noooo… never contemplate that question too hard! LOL!!
Also why buying second-hand layouts can be tremendously cost effective I might add. I bought my club's old N scale exhibition layout for $AU1500… would likely cost $AU25k to build.
Can you program an address to a loco on the mainline? or does it have to be on a programming track? I have a DCS52 Digitrax system. I am trying to add an address for a Bachmann loco. Thanks Jimmy.
I don’t even have my layout built and I’m well over $600 just on programming and testing equipment!
Please be careful with plastic covering, if it's a moist area or high humidity the plastic will draw moisture. Have know this since Boy Scouts 1958. On survival camping we would make solar stiles to collect water that's drinkable. So using plastic is a ify. Hate see corrosion set in on someone's layout.
Would you ever consider getting anything Australian?
Do you have a link to the 3d printed scenery/buildings?
Two notes – 1) Cost per hour of enjoyment in bench building, wiring, figuring, modeling, programming, painting, socializing, running, operating trains = Cheap Entertainment.
2) I don't hide from my wife, we share our lives & hobbies, "in sickness and health" ❤.
Another Question… will you do a Video on not just the affordable camera options, but of all the cameras you use for your videos! Would be awesome to get another perspective of video equipment.
the building I bought on etsy, the print job is truly excellent, one of the best I have seen, it will be a pleasure to add it to my layout.
A model RR is something you can’t put a price on.
I have over 70 Peco switches on my current layout which is coming down soon to start a new prototype layout, just bought another box of atlas code 80 and another 60 plus switches. I don’t even bother to try and figure it anymore, just buy what you can when you can and enjoy it.
I have Ho and track. I plan to make a sand mine and cement plant. I will be using real play sand and cement dust. Any issues i need to be concerned with. Mine will be DC
Hello fellow lover of Verena St coffee @HVACSoldier!
That looked mighty like a kiwi car rego plate on the wall behind the 3D printer pan by….
Let's say that you are a retiree on a fixed income, and you want to start an 8×4 layout. What purchasing steps would you take if you could only buy equipment (pieces for layout – track, buildings, etc.) once a month?
Could you make a video talking about using Loconet along with DCC-EX and JMRI to control arduino-based servo motors for switch machines?
Concerning the "motor wont go" question…
I'm a little late commenting but… I often have the problem where the lights turn on but the motor does not run. For me it is a consisting issue. I make my consists using NCE which automatically assigns the consist address. However if I delete the consist from NCE the loco will never move because it will never see the consist that was programmed. Some functions like the lights will respond either to the consist address or the loco address. However the motor will only respond to the consist address, which never comes.

in france for the same layout, it's probably arount a tousand euros
WHAT THE HECK ARE BOOSTERS??????
