You can’t assume fancier tools that a typical newcomer might not
have, like a table saw, router, lathe, and so on.
Do not include the cost of tools. Just stick with common tools most
have access to (a jigsaw, motor tool, and a soldering iron are okay).
The $500 will need to cover benchwork, roadbed, track, wiring,
control system, rolling stock, locos, structures, and scenery.
Used items from common online sources like eBay or the Yahoo
yard sale lists are okay, as long as the items often appear frequently
as something for sale. Rare or hard-to-find items don’t work.
You can use any scale from Z to G, because we don’t want to put
any limits on your approach.
Your submission needs to include an itemized list, expected cost,
and sources. Also include a drawing of the layout plan and a write-
up of your rationale and approach.
