For the last eight months or so our house has been up for sale and finally it sold late in 2019. My wife wanted to move to a colder, less humid, climate and we agreed on Mandurah, just south of Perth in Western Australia, where I have family (and help lifting layout modules). As part of our negotiations it was agreed that we would buy a house and land big enough to house my 12m x 6m layout as is. That was easier said than done but we have now purchased a 1991 square meter block of land which according to the Mandurah city councils web site should mean that I can build a 13m x 7m garage, not only large enough to house the old layout but also large enough to allow me to extend the layout where it needs it (in the Denver freight yard) and to increase the width of the center aisle.<\/p>\n

The following photos are of the removal of the “mountain” module (Gore Canyon) from my garage and into the 20′ container. There were 8 modules in total loaded into the containers. Only this module and one other are without legs. Both are inner modules that do not form part of the continuous run around the outside. So it should be fairly quick and “easy” to reconnect the modules that run around the outside and have an operating layout. The inner modules can be added at a later date.<\/p>\n

View from the front before we realised that to get it into the container with a minimum of fuss we would need to take the legs off.<\/p>\n

A bit more in.<\/p>\n

And more.<\/p>\n

And even more.<\/p>\n

And finally into the container. Now we have to start thinking about getting it out and back on to it’s legs!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
