The house we have secured for next year has a room for the model railroad, which is fantastic. So I've finally landed on taking the layout with me, reasoning that it will be faster to re-commission the current layout rather than start again completely from scratch. In the end, I really want to be able to run trains next year and share the layout with visitors in our new location.
I've started planning the deconstruction and my Dad and I will take it apart over the Christmas holiday while they are visiting. We need to remove and pack:
- 270 people
- 36 structures
- 28 redwood trees (including the big 750mm tall giant)
- 51 pieces of rolling stock
- 6 locomotives
I'm mindful that perhaps the layout may sustain some damage during transit so I'm taking some photos of the layout before the move, just in case. Enjoy.
