For example, I’m sure the average joe doesn’t know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.

    Model railroads.

    They fit both the signifigant monetary input and high skill criteria at the top end of the hobby.

      If you don’t want you child to do drugs, get it into model trains, it will never have enough money for drugs.

      Just sold off half of my other hobby to fund this one. I’m starting to think model trains are the best worst decision I’ve made.

      Oh and the small ones aren’t any cheaper.
