Kinda reminds me of that tv show on history channel “Life without people”.
Timboy…I compare the tearing down of your layout with the pain of a gall stone attack or childbirth, or the beating of a puppy. I can’t bear to watch so much hard work fall to the demolition phase. [X-)]

Hi, Timboy, Did you notice it comes apart a lot faster than it goes together? Bruce Baker
I’m with you. I love building a layout. Now that I’ve finished, I’ll take a bunch more pix and then in the Fall, I’ll tear it down and build another. That’ll be #5. Running trains is OK for a while but building is my fun.
I like your new avatar alot better too … [tup]
Here’s some of “what goes up will come down”
Tearing it down is bittersweet. You hate to see your work gone but you think about improvements and you will enjoy the new one better.

I always gave my kids the job to rip down the mountains! And they had the most fun doing it!
So, do you have a dumpster available? That was always my problem with large remodeling projects; disposal of the waste. Last winter when I dismantled my layout it took me the better part of 6 weeks to get rid of the resulting debris. Feeding it through the system one pail of garbage a week. And since where I live they use the robot arms on the garbage truck, you are limited to no more than 50lbs weight per container. Most of the wood I recycled, but plaster is heavy!
It appears you use a mixture of track? Some of it is obviously classic AF track, but in the close up of the bridge approach it looks like you also have some hand-laid track?
