Got it done Well, It's complete. I dismantled the layout. It is pretty sad when it takes 6+ months of weekenights to put up and it takes only 8 hours to tear down. I hope my new home will have sufficient space to start again. Thanks for all your help. Warning-Pics May be large...

Not to worry guys, I'll be moving myself but may still have the gorillia's they just won't be on the clock :) Great advice you guys as always, I'll have to see what I can find on sale to help with the packing. Thanks

Thanks guys, all great info. How about packaging structures and rolling stock for a move? I figured newspaper would do fine for most rolling stock, but the structures may be another issue. Any tips for that? Thanks again,

Hi all, I need your advice on the best way to dismantle my layout. I am going to have to move so I neet the pieces to be manageable. Since we have not found the new house yet, I guess it will be unlikely that the layout in it's current form will be 100% reusable. So...my layout is wired...

Hey thanks! It's looks good. you can email me the file if you would like.

It's not a problem guys, I just wanted to bump it up so others may contribute if they wish. As for the access...the only wall is at the top of my picture. all other sides are accessible and the reach isn't too bad on the left side, as you can reach 1/2 way on each side. As for...

anyone else willing to give this a try?

Sorry here's the pic The Black line up top is the basement wall so the other sides are open to walk around. In general the dimensions are 21.5 feet long and 9.5 feet wide.

Hi everyone, I have a new space allotted to me (See attached pic) and I am not all that good with developing track plans. This was someone's old benchwork that they gave to me,, so I'd like to keep it close to the way it is assembled if possible. Anyone here willing to give it a shot...

Thanks! You really hit it on the head there. My goal is to do a lot of continuous running with 2-3 trains. My scenery ideas although not very complete were to have "town" on the right side of the layout where the tracks are all at the same height with a 2 track crossing in the middle of...

you guys have a chat room set up?? Where?? Okay I found it...but it doesn't work...I'm using IE6.0 are there any tricks? Later,

All, I have begun constructing this in HO. I just found this place, so give it a look and see if there is anything that looks incorrect. The outside loop is approx. 6" higher than the inside loop on the left side and the grade comes down the right side on all of the tracks. The yard is...

jon-monon, Amazingly Romeoville is right next to Joliet here in Illinois, so you are not that far off....hehe Later,

All I gotta say is WOW! Glad to see the "family" atmosphere that seems to be lacking on other Forums! I appreciate it! Later,
