I have spent 20 years building my 18' x 30' HO layout. Thousands of dollars have been invested in this project as I have over 2000 pieces of rolling stock and over 1,000 feet of track on the layout. Hundreds of structures, some of the very expensive kits that run in the $300 catagory when purchased. Many of the pieces of rolling stock are rare and hard to find as they have been out of production for years. Here's my probem. <br />If I decided to quit modeling, I could manage to sell it all on Ebay or to local modelers. Should I become ill say with alsheimers or end up in a nursing home, or even die, what can a widow do with a layout like this. I have no relatives who would want any part of the layout. My wife dosen't know the value of items, she'd be at a loss to try and sell the stuff. What could be done in a case like this? <br />I know that it could all be donated to a local club, but I'd prefer not to do that as <br />my wife would need the money from the value of the items. How can a widow, or a modeler who has to quit because of health, get back some of his investment in a big layout?
