Cost
It is unfortunate that I did not keep track of all my costs since I began this hobby. I am sure it would be at least a couple of thousand dollars.
This page contains a table of all the costs associated with my model railroad activities during 2009 and 2010. The cumulative costs of previous years is directly below the 2009 entries.
