other expensive hobbies - that we can discuss on a family forum

my friends got into the gas RC off road trucks. he had alot of property so he made tracks out there for them. that got expensive for certain things. also if u have property the 50cc dirtbikes are really fun. you can buy the bigger shocks and raise the handle bars and put a bigger engine in it if you want so adults can ride them. we were all between 18 and 21 riding thoes things on a short track we made its a blast. but expensive

 

oh yeah we have lots of bikes that we always ride up on the trails by steamboat. great hobby as well

 

The paintball gun is the cheap part, its the $50 in balls every time you go out that gets you.

Hockey has turned out to be my most expensive hobby. $220 every 11 weeks league fees, plus $700 for a new helmet after my concussion, my skates were $350, $140 in sticks so far... and then there is the $30,000 in medical bills from said concussion. ;D

Bicyling(can get expensive)
..those are the main ones.

I had an HO scale train layout about 2 years ago. it was 2 tables together (4X5 foot and an 8 X 3 foot table). I have about 8(NKP, Sanfa Fe, BNSF, CSX) engines from all time periods. Mostly newer diesel engines. But a few are older. I also have an electric cable car and an old coal tender/locomotive. It is from the NKP railroad, where my great-grandfather used to work. I have probably 25 train cars of different kinds...probably 18 different buildings. I have some O scale stuff too.

I still have everything, but I don't have the space for it right now. I may set it up again at a later date.
