One of the reasons I delayed starting this layout for several years was the fear that I wouldn't be able to afford to build it. I don't have much disposable income as I used to, and there are different priorities right now. I need only about a half-dozen switches for my layout, as well as a crossover. But they are regularly about $100 or so new, which while reasonable still adds up. So, I have been on the look out for deals.
I found a pair of new-in-box LH switches with motors (which I don't need) from a fellow Bridge Line Historical Society member for $20 each! Another pair (two RH) came from an OGR Magazine forum member for $45 each. Each one helps me fill out my track plan.
I am still on the prowl for deals, and I am not in a rush because train show season is coming up. Hopefully, the mainline will all be in by Christmas.
