That’s a real shame guys. Isn’t there any way you could make them demountable so they could be taken down as necessary?

[boatman]

CANT you guys have a smaller layout with out havin to get rid of it ?

I started out making it modular but integrating the refinery & the end curves on grades destroyed that. Modularity is difficult, time consuming, & requires a lot of upfront planning. Once I made the turn, speed became an issue and the plan went out the window. So no, the layout won't fit in my space.

Paul and Lee.
A great shame from our point, I used to love checking in to find a up date. Such a lot of work and dedication to great layouts
I do agree however with Paul about the fun of the build, I find this with a simple dio, but to think of the size of yours and Lees it has life in the movement so its a pity.

Yes Paul put a lot of work in it I wish he could down size it and move it but that’s easier said than done. I will still run my O gauge layout that will never change. I’m so burned out on HO 1/87 scale I’m just done with it and moving on.

Glad your going to keep the O gauge Lee.

Paul,

shame that this has happened, as John said I too loved checking in to see the updates and very glad that you got as far as you did. Everything that you built was marvelous to watch along the way in each step. Thanks for creating a fantastic layout and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Brought back a ton of memories for me.

So sorry to hear that you'll need to remove your layout!! It's been great fun watching it develop. I hope that you can find a worthy home nearby. It's rather a long way for me to come for it!!

Got a guy coming Monday to take a look at the layout. He wasn't scared of the size over the phone. He was mostly concerned over how it would break down to get it out of the basement.

Shame to see it go but I know it's a space hog. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it come out of the garage and manifest itself in the Mom cave. Been interacting with a local module group.... they meet and set up every second Saturday of the month and operate for 3 hours at the local shopping mall.

Paul hope all goes well .
