John:

Best of luck with the move and I'm sure you will enjoy the great new train room!

In my last house in PA, I had a full walk out basement that included a large finished space, a workshop, an office and unfinished storage. It was a dream come true.

I gave all of that up and moved 2,500 miles to CA three years ago. I used my old trusty "TrainMinder" software and inventoried every box which made locating things after the move quite easy. My article about the move and new layout is (hopefully) due to appear in the February 2018 OGR issue.

Using Mianne Benchwork in PA made re-building in CA with the new plan easy.

You may want to include a liftgate in your plans - mine works great and saves my 67 year old knees from some of the trips into the layout center area. It is also fun to demonstrate when visitors come over.

Enjoy!
