Packing Up, Part 2



After disassembly, the layout sections were wrapped in plastic...actually, in extra large lawn and leaf bags. They, along with the leg assemblies, now reside in our garage, ready to move.

Packing Up, Part 1












This is the layout disassembly in progress, as explained below. Photos, from the top:
Photo 1: The rail was cut at section joints, wiring was disconnected from the control panel, rolled up and secured under each section. The sections were then unbolted from one another.
Photo 2: The turntable bridge, control disk and hardware were removed.
Photo 3: The control panel was unbolted for storage.
Photo 4: All track ends at section joints were encased in protective cardboard, as were the turnout Caboose Industries ground throws.
Photo 5: The layout sections just before the leg assemblies were unbolted prior to storage.
