A Testament to experience. You have designed the whole frame/joins/set up perfectly. And the key as you say is labelling, so glad it all came back together Carl, it's one of the best logging layouts out there. Please do some extended operating session for us, we enjoy seeing these and looking at your layout. All the best. Brian
Incredible, like watching and listening to Bob Ross do a painting. One of the best layout moves I've seen performed. It is all in the pre-planning it appears. Well done!
Hello Mr. Brainerd, Love your layout, and thank you so much for taking the time to video the move. I thank you for showing the details and all around view of the layout. Great Layout!
Thank you for sharing so the rest of us can benefit. Great information, I liked your past videos on your layout. I hope I will never haft to move but with preplanning I will have some part of the layout that will be able to move and be a starting point.
Wow, a lot of work there Carl. Well done very interesting to see each stage and behind the layout, you have given me some ideas for the valance and hanging sky.
Hi Carl. I too have built my layout in modules (about 20) with a manual so that someone can disassemble / reassemble when the time comes. All the buss wires are below deck so I don't have an electronics cabinet but you have convinced me of the wisdom of that. Well done on the move and congratulations on the restart assembly!!!
Very nice I also want to build a layout that can be moved I have been trying to figure it out I learned alot from you thank you so much you answered alot of questions I have been asking myself thank you again plus the quality of your video was excellent
It's not fancy, but gets the job done. A support structure made of 2x4s with a plywood top, including 1x2 edging around it to give it a border. Swiveling casters at the bottom of the legs. Finally, a high shelf overhead which holds lights, and also provides more storage space. I put in a simple light block to keep the lights from shining directly in my eyes. I made the top deep enough to hold a small airbrush paint booth and still have working space in front of it.
I'm sure glad I found this video ! I'm about to begin on the same shape layout you built but it will be 5'x3' then a 3x3 center corner and again 5'x3' right side. But mine will be in N scale.. Great idea making the spreadsheet instructions. I pay rent so someday, I know I will have to move mine just like you did.
Yeah, same shape but yours will be just a foot shorter on each side. I guess that in N scale you'll have enough room in that 3' depth for turnback curves and loops so you could support continuous running if you want to. The new place I moved to is also a rental (house), so another move probably awaits me some day in the future. I was so glad to have all the steps captured in that spreadsheet, along with photos, too, of each step. Best wishes on your project!
@CarlBrainerd I'm rearranging my room now,it's also a pantry. It just depends on how much room I have when I'm done so I may stretch mine a little longer. Mine will sit on top of two 4 door kitchen cabinets.
Hey Carl I appreciate the video. I live in an apartment and dread the time I have to move my layout if it ever comes. All the best in the move. Hope to see the layout take shape again Cheers from Canada Bob
I also preplanned my hon3 logging layout so that it can be moved in one piece. It is 96”x52” and no greater than 24” high. The rolling legs are on a separate structure so the layout comes off. It will take a person at each corner and tipped sideways it will fit through a standard bedroom door opening. No worse than moving a full sized freezer/refrigerator.
Just stumbled on your channel and love the videos and your methodical, unrushed style of presenting. As a modeller it is always good to see 'behind the scenes' and how you have tackled both the construction of the railroad and the practicalities of moving it. Presumably the completed, assembled railroad had to be slid into it's final position against the walls? Was this straight forward? Did it need lots of helpers to push it?
Yes, actually there was quite a bit of moving the layout sections and the whole thing once assembled, due to the need to get behind it to work fasteners and also the limited dimensions of the room. But with wheels on all the legs and a hard floor (ceramic tile) to roll on, it rolled pretty easy and I did it all without help. It hung up a little bit when wheels rolled into the grout lines, but a little "persuasion" got it rolling again. Then there was a final move into the final position. Now I find that it's easy to accidentally move it a little bit if I lean against it.
just curious, does a ceiling fan add dust to the layout? I was always under the impression not to have moving air in the train room. great preplanning!
I'm trying the opposite approach. I leave the ceiling fan on low speed all the time in the hope that keeping the air moving will discourage dust from settling. The jury is still out on this. I do think that having the overhead "sky" installed probably helps cut the dust, too. They do collect some dust on their top side.

Truly amazing. Way to go, Carl! Thanks for sharing.

That went well. Your planning and documentation really helped.
Huzzah! Congrats on a successful outcome!
wuaoooo wonderfull congratulations
Absolutely amazing project Carl! Congratulations!
Very nice I also want to build a layout that can be moved I have been trying to figure it out I learned alot from you thank you so much you answered alot of questions I have been asking myself thank you again plus the quality of your video was excellent
Super! I hope it works out well for you....
Well done Carl. The planning and indeed pre planning was impressive.
👍🤠👍 very cool, thanks for sharing,
I'm very interested in how your work bench is constructed

Sounds quite workable, and not unlike my situation. Good work!
