Moving the HO & N Scale Layouts to their (and mine 😁) New Home - MRAw/Bill EP302
I moved the layout to their new home just recently. Thank goodness I did design and build them all lite weight. That made a huge difference on getting them in and out of the U-Haul truck. Minimal damage from the move just some ballast touch ups and putting details back on and then cleaning the track and getting trains moving again. But… that will wait until I get back from Thailand again. New model railroad adventures await me in Thailand. I’m taking a lot of n scale track with me and kits and engines and cars.
I’ve always said cars don’t need to go into garages and given that why do cloths need to go in a suitcase when all that space can be used for model railroad supplies 😁😁

      Tell you WHS. Go to Caboose Stop hobbies on a Wednesday. Laverne and Mark will most likely be there at the club layout in the basement. Ask whoever is working in the shop and they can direct you to them. When I’m settled in to my new place in Charles City and back in Iowa from overseas every so often I think most Wednesdays I’ll be there. Keep in touch!
