A 2 foot long module can be built for as little as $30. A module or module group may be as expensive and extensive as you want, but build only as much as you yourself can transport.
You may be able to save money by showing your ideas to other CVL members, as they may have suggestions based on experience save money and assist in the construction. It is strongly recommended that you do this.
Some members choose to own their own personal throttle to control trains on the CVL layout. We currently use the NCE DCC system and compatible throttles.
