What to do with Old layout

Rate this topic

Hello All,

 

I have an unfinished  DC oo gauge table layout measuring roughly 1.3m by 2m. I'm starting on a new layout build which will be using much larger curves and points so very little of the old layout can be recycled by me and I can't store it anywhere. I would re-use the point motors, switches and 2 buildings only. Any suggestions on what to do with the old one? I could try to sell it whole on this forum or on Adverts.ie but ones I've seen on Adverts.ie never seem to sell. Pictures below to give an idea.

 

Ray

It might selling as a whole particularly if it operates reliably, the basic scenery and trackwork looks good

The styling and track plan looks like a classical compact American "Wild West" layout scheme like John Allen's original Gorre & Daphetid https://www.trains.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/first_g-d_line.pdf

Would look great with American Western style buildings and trains, Rio Grande and Santa Fe are spot on for the scenery

Thanks Mayner, that John Allen plan is great. I probably will sell it whole as I'd hate to break it up. It operates reliably with all teh points far away from the controls being motorised.
