Moving a Layout

Good luck with the new business venture!

Taking the glass out will be expensive unless you know a glass guy that will give you a discount. I know somebody in Camilla GA that does glass work like that and he charges a good rate for glass installation.

I would think that taking the layout apart and getting it to fit in through a doorway would be the way to go.

interesting layout!

Do I understand this TMack, you are going to be able to work, play with trains and make money at the same time? I can't think of anything much better. Good luck with the new business.

Possibly Larry,  I know the 2x7 extension I had take off to move it might be reinstalled as 6x8.  The store front needed modification so all the timing was perfect to move it in as large a piece as possible.  The side story is the location is not permanent, but that is okay.  It's too big for my store so we are in the vacant space next to us with the trains and will sell Christmas items as we'll.

Good luck with your new venture, I hope the layout draws in the "paying" customers.

Keep us posted.

I'm a glass guy and would like to see what your glass guy does to get your layout in the store.

We took over a store that has been in town for 30 years.  Mis-managed the last few.  We cut the size back and a the old left over space got divided into two new spaces.  There was needed glass work to finish up for the new shops so I timed the move when they had the doors off and the mullions out.  Not really a big deal  Thankfully my bench work was 1X4s and not 2X4 and I used 3/8s ply.  I'll get some pictures up when the space is decorated.  For the Candy Shop, I don't have enough room for a display, but I think I am going to consider hanging one form the ceiling.
