Years ago, we sold the family home with a rather extensive HO layout in the basement. The layout wasn't coming out of that house in one piece or even easily in several smaller pieces. Sold the house to a developer who then bulldozed the house (and, I assume, the layout at the same time). Tossed a few engines in the trash, kept a handful that are under glass in my current train room.
Considering my current home has a rather extensive koi pond set up, which the prior owner built, I figure that it will have to be filled in when we leave. It was actually a selling point for us as we were going to build one but the previous owner took care of that (had 2, one in the front yard and one in the backyard, I filled in the backyard pond). I love having it and would gladly buy a house with one, pending a full inspection.
