FREE to a good home, an unbelievable HO gauge model train design: constructed into a 16' x 16' space, constant track run. Mountains, bridges, tunnels, trees, grade modifications, streams- the majority of the track is intact and laid on a cork bed.
All electrical circuitry / electronics are intact.
NO locomotives, box vehicles or buildings included (they were currently eliminated) - just the design, very practical, and the structure below.
My Dad was a master modeler and spent over 15 years structure and enjoying his hobby. We wish to give this to someone who will enjoy and value it.
This might be great for a kids club task, retirement community, etc
. We are hoping that someone can get rid of the design in sections with minimum damage to the room, if possible please, and would like to have actually all eliminated at one time, not bit-by-bit.
The first 6 pictures reveal the layout with all rolling stock and model structures intact.
The next 6 pictures reveal the underside structure,.
and the last 8 photos show the design after the rolling stock and buildings were eliminated (ie- not readily available).
The structure:.
See the pictures (some out of focus, sorry).
-a 1x4 'ledger' is connected to the 4 walls of the space with a 1x4 'rim' at the design edge.
-1 x4 and 2x2 horizontal and vertical structure pieces support the finished layout from below with 2x2 braced legs.
-there is a solid plywood 'table' in a couple of areas, many is constructed up on wire and plaster and wood supports.
-the layout would have to be cut in areas, each section turned on it's side to move out the door.
- would be cutting with 1x, some plywood, chicken wire, plaster of Paris, circuitry, etc. to dismantle.
- heaven vertical board is a finish edging that conceals the structure and wiring.
- I estimate limit length of any section to be 6-8 ft. or so.
Require additional details- thanks !!
