Well guys-- It is 1230 pm on February 4, 2015. Yesterday would have been my Father's 104th birthday! How 'bout that ! Except that he passed years ago.
Anyway, I'm on my way downstairs to start dismantling my small 5 x 9 temporary layout.
Will save all the tubular track and sell all the FASTRACK as a group. Includes adapter sections, insulated sections, 3 manual switches, 1 pair remote switches. I will let you know what the tally is. Never know, some of you FASTRACK guys might be interested !!
I have to strip the plywood top and then will lift it off the top of our dining room table and stand it up against the wall ! I have a lady possibly interested in the dining room and living room furniture. It needs to all get out of the way! Then Suzie and me can shuffle book cases around and see how much total square footage will be available for the new layout !!
I want to see if the bookcases placed against the North wall of the dining room can be adjusted to centrally store my collection of railroad books- of which several are quite rare! Right now there are a bunch in my Workshop. A bunch in our Family room, several in my upstairs office, and another bunch in my upstairs hallway ! Most are hardbounds ! (and heavy!!) This collection has taken years to accumulate!
Between the living room and family room and stairway upstairs landing, there are many dozens of VHS and DVD RR videos. I know--I'm NUTS, huh ?
Once the living room floor area is cleaned off and vacated, it will be thoroughly vacuumed and then covered by those 2' x 2' colored interlocking foam panels to protect the carpet ! Might make my tired old feet feel better too.
SO-- Off I go downstairs to get started! When the basic train tables get built, they will be covered by Homasote and Cork layers for maximum sound deadening!
More on all this later on. First things first !!! ALL ABOARD !!
