Well layout building can be, but you are asking the wrong question IMHO, if there are any nice little earners that most people can do then lots of people will jump in and do them until its not worth the time. The better question is what *you* can do that other people can't do so well or lack the skills for.

I'd also suggest N scale may well be the wrong place - all the volume is in OO and all the money is in O (just look a the car park of an O gauge show!)

Are you sure they're not Star of India curry restaurant cars

Fratton, they're fantastic!  I'd certainly buy one.

If you're comfortable repainting and super-detailing locos, this can be a nice earner, especially if it's something not available RTR. I've often thought about doing this, but am so pleased with my repaints that I want to keep them all!
