Eugen's Fix it all advices: How to Make a Model Train Layout Disappear in Less than a Day

While my job at a civil rights / legal services non-profit org in San Francisco over the past couple years hasn't allowed me the luxury of model railroading as much as I'd like, I do pop in from time to time to see all the fab work you all are doing.

Very inspiring!

I finished a NYC-ish HO layout for Don back in the summer of 2015.

He wanted Montecello, NY in the late 1950's, so I built it for him.

(With fab structure help by Miles the Weathering Guy)

This last weekend (4/14/2018) Don calls & says he's moving.

In less than a month.

This Saturday, with multi-scale model railroad superhero Eric (from the Silicon Valley Free-moN Anarcho-Collective we rock together, & Silicon Valley Lines HO Club), we take down & remove the entire layout, saving as much as possible for projects our own as well as to share with others in our orbits.

A good chunk / good chunks of this project will appear in many Bay Area layouts over the coming year.

Plywood to plywood,

Foam to foam.

Funk to funky.

Here's a time-lapse of the dismemberment process.

What took me (& Miles) over 6 months to build, Eric & I removed in less than 7 hours.

May it inspire you to get building!

Life & model railroading is fleeting.

We see so many threads & builds that disappear--just wanted to share how this layout finished.

& how much of it will excite & invest life into other layouts.

Music props to Robert Litton & Dragon Ash.
