Labor Rates
Installation rates for Locos and Operating cars
The Electric Railroad Company charges $35.00 per hour, rounded down to the nearest fifteen minute increment.

For example: a one hour installation will be billed at $35. A half hour installation will be billed at $17.50. Since we round DOWN to the nearest quarter hour, a twenty-five minute installation will be billed at $8.75, the same as a fifteen minute installation.

Installations requiring less than fifteen minutes are free.  Our mission is to help you have fun and get our products into your hands as economically as possible. Our products sell themselves and we want you to come back for more.

Since there is rarely a “typical” locomotive upgrade, we have created this page as a guideline to help you select your upgrade provider, which we hope is our company!
