Misty Mountain Railroad - Closed ?

Ed:

I had heard last year that Charles’ family planned to dismantle the layout and sell everything that was useable or salvageable.  That was last June.  I’ve not heard anything since nor have I read about any of the rolling stock or custom buildings going on sale.  

Given how well known Misty Mountain was; I have to believe if an auction house or Trainz had obtained everything they would publicly link the items to the layout when they began to sell things off.

Curt,

I am sorry to hear that.  After Charles passed I had hoped that either the family would continue on with it or it would be sold to some other group to run it.

But I can imagine the complications to run and maintain the layout.  Who knows what other complications the family had to deal with.   

Sure glad I got to see it a number of times.   The best part was the intro by Charles before the tour.   He was always interesting and entertaining.

Thanks for the update.

“The best part was the intro by Charles before the tour. He was always interesting and entertaining.”

Ed; I agree!  I visited the Misty Mountain four times and enjoyed talking with Charles more than even looking at the layout.  He was an interesting character and I say that in a positive manner.
