What does a layout cost?
It depends on size, level of detail, electronics and the trains and supplies you choose. Layouts can run from several hundred dollars to many thousands.
Most of our layouts come out at around $150 per square foot in labor for HO and larger, and around $300 per square foot for N and Z, because so much more fits in a smaller space.
