Hi all,
I need your advice on the best way to dismantle my layout. I am going to have to move so I neet the pieces to be manageable.
Since we have not found the new house yet, I guess it will be unlikely that the layout in it's current form will be 100% reusable.
So...my layout is wired (block wired and turnouts) back to a control panel, track is held down right now by track spikes, not glued or ballasted, and I used cork roadbed over 3/8" plywood subroadbed.
No scenery has been done to speak of, so there will be nothing to save of that.
Do I just pull all the track up and cut the joints (soldered) ? Leave the sections of track on the roadbed/subroadbed in sections for moving?
The benchwork is a mix of 2X4 and 1X4 framing in about 2-4 square sections.
Thanks alot,
Shaummy
