Planning While Waiting

Other than reading the latest issue of Model Railroader, my hobby activities have gone dormant, since my layout and equipment are packed up. We have put our home on the market but, these days, a sale could take quite some time. In the meantime we have been looking at homes for sale in the 55-plus neighborhood where we hope to move, and I've paid special attention to potential layout space, which will be in a spare bedroom. One place had a three-car garage, which in a more moderate climate might, if properly prepared, offer space for a layout, but the summers in southeast Texas are way too hot to make that a viable option.

A spare bedroom will be fine, especially if the entry door and closet are on the same side of the room. Otherwise, some form of "swinging bridge" layout section will be needed to get past a closet door.

The layout sections I've built to date will probably fit into a new space without much trouble, but the unbuilt sections of my original plan will almost certainly have to be modified.
