Tearing down the layout and moving on.

[rgeiter]

Not actually tearing down but more of a disassembly. My wife was reappointed to another church. ( She is a United Methodist pastor) From time to time pastors get reappointed. Although we were not ready to move, we feel that this is a great opportunity. We currently live in a church parsonage and that’s why I built my layout in manageable sections. My goal is to eventually reassemble this layout.

Our new church does have a parsonage but it’s going through major renovation and won’t be ready for some time. So after living in church parsonages for the last ten years we decided to buy a house again. That has been a real challenge. House prices are STUPID high. We eventually were able to find a brand new house that’s been vacant for a year that’s close to our new church. Fingers crossed that it all works out.
My layout will return. I’m actually thinking of doing some short videos every week or so on the progress. I was amazed at the number of views my latest cab ride videos generated. One has 33K views! Also my subscriber count went from maybe 30 something to almost 300. Very humbling. I might do one more cab video to record the changes. I cut down all my sides to track level. It looks great. (see pic) That’s all for now. If you read all of this, thank you. I’ll still visit the forum and keep you guys posted.

Later, Bob

Good luck with the move and the relocation of the layout Bob, well be watching for updates!
I had to look that word up (parsonage), don’t recall hearing it before.

Sorry. It’s the house that a church provides for the pastor/preacher/minister.

Wow - that's a seriously impressive layout. Good luck for the move and hopefully you will be able to re-assemble it in the same way. Good thing you planned ahead for a move.

You might think about adding a link to your YouTube channel in your signature line here on the forum. You do some good vids.

Sounds like a great opportunity Bob, wish I was there to help you out, and get it set back up again. Keep us in the loop!

Cars and engines. Wrapped every car in bubble wrap. Took six hours! Only a handful of cars had their original boxes.

Hope it all works out for you guys and you can "reassemble" everything again.

Thanks. I’m going to change things up and not have any duck unders. It’s going to be all walk around. I would like to build a helix. It’s one of the things I haven’t done yet.

Well the first piece came out without to much trouble. Done for tonight.

My wife is a little upset about it. I just told her that I’m a modelrailroader. I’m not sad that I’m tearing it down, I’m excited that I get to build a new one.
