a picture a day....

Tear down, no fun.

Dewey why are you taking it down?

Removed it in 2009 due to spouses health issues and needing the room for a rehab facility. I moved down the hall to a 9x19 attic and built a 9x16 round-the-wall layout in Feb. 2010. But it has essentially lain dormant since I also developed a debilitating health issue right after I wired it and ran trains. Now trying to get up and going again.  Place is a mess(see below)!

Looks great, never mind the items on the table as it will get done when it is ready. This is therapy my freind, take your time and get out of reality and into you Train World for a while

Dewey I like your new layout!  And I hope you find the time and ability to move forward with it! Im a Southern fan also!!   I just had to take down my 6x12 that was in one of our two living rooms and move into a 17x11 room that I am doing an around the wall similar to yours!

Dewey, nice to hear you're getting the pike up and running again.

Thanks for your comments regarding the attic layout guys. I'm old but too dumb and stubborn to give up.The real agony of demolition was in 2008 for taking down my 15 year old airborne operation in the kitchen of our mountain cottage in western N.C.. When I knew we had to move to access better Med facilities I had a fallback position with the upstairs layout at the Greensboro Condo. But alas square footage needs and health circumstances forced the tear down of it as already noted.

Wonder how that forklift operator gets back and fourth between Johan's layout and mine.....with the forklift no less.....

RSJB18, good work on the loading dock.
