Kirley Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 At last made a start on dismantling the old layout in the Roof Space. I started it in 2009 but moved to the Shed Layout in 2012. I kept the loft layout to test run stock on DC but really that was only an excuse. So I decided if I lifted the track then I would have no reason to keep it. It took me months to build but an hour and a half to lift the track. Looks a bit like the Derry Road. I've still to disconnect the points motors. Looks like some stock got marooned. This is to remind myself I have to declutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRi1959 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I had a layout in an attic some 30+ years ago and I hated it. I would never use it again. My current attic is huge - a cut roof with no internal bracing, all old tradition rafters on purlins. I could in theory build a massive layout but I wouldn't start.

jhb171achill Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Totally agree. I had a large narrow gauge one in my first house - it got damaged by damp but the trusses were an awful impediment anyway. Second house - gigantic open attic but money tight; in some 18 years I never even started a layout, but it would have been more than ideal. Current house: trusses. Layout in garage or nothing.

ttc0169 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Looks like 1960's Ireland with lines and stations being closed, Onwards and upwards as you have already shown elsewhere Kieran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
