Reply to "Experience with Cabin Fever / MTH Archives Auction"

Hi All,

Well, I can probably say I had one of the most complicated auction purchases of all from Cabin Fever and MTH. I won the MTH Factory Showroom Layout during the first auction. My wife said "Go for it" and well... soon I realized what I got myself into. It was not easy to remove accessories, track, and scenery, and then cut into precise sections, all while trying very hard to preserve the layout. All 500+ miles from where I live. It required 4 trips from Cincinnati Ohio, to Columbia Maryland. My first trip out was October 28th, 2020, and my final trip to pick it up was yesterday (January 18th 2021). I would like to give a big shout out to both Cabin Fever and MTH! Especially Gary and John from Cabin Fever and Mark Hipp from MTH. Everyone involved was so great with coordinating and supporting my trips out to the factory. Here is the first of many videos to come about this journey.

Thanks, TrainFinder Craig
