@@naxshack Thanks Brian. 😊 I’ve been very busy finishing up part 3. It’s taking a bit longer than I expected but finally almost done.! 👍🏻 I sure hope so.!
Wow Mark! It reinforces my desire to never move ever again. You have some very cool stuff though. I admire how you put it all together and your method for taking it apart. Have a great weekend. 😀🎃
It is always disappointing to me to see a layout dismantled, especially those I have built, but that is the eventual fate of all model train layouts. I am happy to see this being properly taken down, and all the parts being carefully preserved for use again. I look forward to seeing the building of your next layout.
@@MarkWick Thanks Mark. Very sad to see it go but l sure hope to build it again.! Just finishing up part 3 taking down the benchwork. Taking a bid longer than I expected. 😔
@@raysrails2164 Yep.! 😑 Taking longer than I expected but finally finishing up part 3 this weekend. Hope to be done early next week.! 🤞🏻BIG pile of boxes.
Well you're almost there Mark. At least this will be one big job you'll have done before you move. So there is some Positivity in all this Madness lol.
Yes I am Matt. I just finished last week and am working on the Part 3 Final video. House hunting is a bit frustrating with high prices and low amount of houses on the market. I have till the end of Feb when my lease runs out. My realtor is saying winter and after the election will be a good time to buy so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
@markslioneltrains I hope you find something very nice Mark. My Son just bought a House. I can't believe how high some of the Interest Rate Percentages are from some Banks. This Biden/Harris Administration has really put the Hurts on Americans financially. I don't know how anyone can hardly afford a new home nowadays. Hopefully if Trump gets Elected he will make these Banks Lower their Rates.
@@jebbthetrainkid1281 Very true Matt. I hope I'm as lucky as your son. I always vote and hope many more vote like me and you for a change from the blue wave destroying our Country. If that women gets in we are all in BIG Trouble.
@@joeystrains.9316 It is a lot of work and not very much fun taking it down. 😑 Yes, Fastrack has worked very well for me even the command control turnouts. 👍🏻
Wow mark seems like alotta work but i like to be positive about things and ill admit it is hard watching your and anyones layout being took down but as my grandma says something better always comes up if you keep your faith up and my question is where did you find those big lionel bridges? im having trouble finding any and the lionel store just had that covered one i bought back in june but hope you can find a house soon
It actually is a lot of work and kind of sad for sure.😢I don’t think Lionel makes the bridges anymore. I bought them from my local hobby shop a few years ago. You may find them on line or at a train show?
Very nice job, carefully packing everything away Mark! Can’t wait to see the new layout in the future!

That’s for sure Bob. Moving is no fun at all especially trying to find a new place. You as well. 😊
You have a good system for tear down At least you don’t have to deal with that Menards staples in the building covers 😃👍🚂
Thanks Dan. 😊 Yes, The Menards staples have been replaced with box tape. Much easier. 👍🏻

Mark, looks like a lot of work. Are you a fan of Lionel’s fast track? It looks like you had success with it.

You are making good un-progress!
@@MygrandpasTrain That’s for sure. It’s taking me longer than I expected but I’m finally almost done with part 3. 👍🏻😊

For a temporary layout they sure was a lot going on Mark. My layout is a temporary one too. How one bird be so hard to find?
Sure was Hunter. Still have not found the Bird and everything is down now. Took about a week longer than I thought to take it all apart.
