So today I finally managed to drag myself up the loft and start packing\/dismantling my old layout. I think I was putting it off because it seems a shame to undo the work I’ve done and because I didn’t know where to start! Anyway, I decided to start with packing away all the rolling stock<\/a>. I have some plastic towers of drawers with wheels on that I think should be OK for moving if I put some tape round<\/g> them to keep the drawers from sliding out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I kept the packaging for the Peco points so I can use this to protect them. I wish I had kept the boxes that the Flexi track came in. I have one new pack but all the salvaged track will have to be tied up and put in bubble wrap (I ordered a big roll of it today).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have found most of the boxes for the rolling stock but there’s still one that is eluding me. Identifying which wagons or coaches go in which box was a bit tricky but a bit of Googling the product code helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of it I bought unboxed so again they will have to be carefully cocooned in bubble wrap. I’m not sure how I’m going to package the scenery yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boxes seem to be fitting in OK and I’ve tried to stop them sliding about with various bits and pieces like squashed cardboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the whole process is going to take a lot longer than I thought so I’m glad I’ve started it. The house move seems very quiet at the moment but these things have a habit of suddenly all coming together and I don’t want to get caught out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
