In my case the layout won't come down while I'm alive, nor will the house be sold while I'm alive. When I'm gone, I suspect my wife will keep the house for quite a while. In the next year or so I expect to put together an operating group, so even when I'm gone, they can continue to meet and enjoy the layout.
When the house finally does sell, the layout will still be standing. There is no reason to tear it down because the house has so much other space. The house has 8900 square feet. The layout is only 1900. Why not keep it, the house was designed specifically to have it. A person could actually turn it into a small business and maybe earn enough to pay the property taxes.
