Moving day finally arrived! Ok, in reality it was only a week or so, but it felt a lot longer. That morning I met friends Matt M. and Kevin S. at the house where the layout was. We proceeded to label wires before making cuts, and general packing up the layout and the remaining train collection. Everything went smooth with one exception. We attempted to move the long shelf, seen along the back wall in the photos below.
When carrying the section out of the basement bulkhead, we found that the hill on the end with the turnback loop didn't fit! Then, as we jostled the section around trying to fit it through the door, the section snapped in half. What initially seemed like a major issue, actually turned out to be a benefit. With the back shelf in two pieces, it fit easily out the door. Everything else went smoothly, and in about 7 hours, the layout was standing in my garage.
