Well, folks, I guess I can start the my story here. As you know, I am new, and posted in a couple threads, including some pictures, and have already gotten the impression that some of you are looking forward of the clean-up/clean-out of the old bench work and to see most of the goodies my father acquired over the years.
To start, these are the pictures of the "disaster" part that I got to start with.
These are looking each way in the "train room" taken a little over a year ago. Dad had always kept buying and building kits, but you can see nothing was getting ran at home.
These are shelves that he built for storage, well, since your couldn't safely stack anything else up on the bench work
And those shelves do not include 4 or 5 full plastic totes in the laundry room, at least 6 more full in the garage, and 2 even made it up to the storage unit and I dont even know what are in those two.
I have been a busy little beaver cleaning and working on the layout, cleaning and replacing ruined sections of track and figuring out his wiring from 1979-80-ish. I have taken quite a few pictures of pieces of the collection, and headway that I have made on the layout. I will start posting shortly.
ANY words of encouragement will help greatly
