When the wife & I moved in 2006, (after 30 years in our house) I proudly declared that everyone should move every 10 years. And that statement came from my mouth because I had to ditch all the useless junk I had squirreled away. And after 14 years in this location, the thought of moving again doesn't sound real good anymore. Jeff, I'm sorry you have to move but I hope everything works out well for you. As was stated previously, protect the trains. Moving can be stressful. But, many times better things can lie ahead.
The wife & I moved into a townhouse and the basement just doesn't offer enough room for an O scale layout. Our daughter, who lives 5 miles away, has a large basement.....hmmm.
