Hi Ben,
As I've said in our e-mails, I wish you and your family the very best in this new chapter of your lives.
Look at the bright side ...... with a smaller home and far fewer maintenance duties you'll have more time to try new things. I'm in the process of setting up a small On30 layout in the basement. It's very different from large scale but still a lot of fun. Maybe you can try your hand at scratch building fine-scale LS locos and cars to display. The point is that model trains have obviously been an important part of your life for a long time so I would encourage you to try to find some way to keep your hand in it.
I wish you the very best,
Walt

Benny, I empathise with you, I lost my garden RR due to the big 'D'. I had to move into a small apartment as well. Then I decided I wasn't going to let all that crap get me down, and dug out an old 5x8 portable layout board and stuck it on top of the diningroom table.....
That layout has survived ANOTHER move, several revisions, and has even grown a small bit.

If you want it bad enough, you'll find a way. Good Luck!
time to take a little break from moving some things ,it was to cold this morning 12 above and a breeze.
V.Smith ,Tangerine Jack ,Capt. Bob Johnson, M. T. Carpenter,and Two Tone , thanks for the comments ,it takes to long to get things ready to do the move ,to much stuff here after i lived here 33 years. we hope by March 5th to be in the apartment IF the weather is fit for the move . Ben
Hi Benny, I`m over the pond but I like others have seen you on the forum helping others with sound advice, we all wish you the best for the future. Take care
Age is only a state of mind, keep the mind active and enjoy life
Ditto. Thoughts and prayers to you.
While I said much the same to Ben in an e-mail, I commend TJ for saying it a better way than I did. AMEN!
Well now that is just chipper news. I enjoyed the visit to your railroad and regret that I could not make a return visit in a timely manner. You built a masterpiece and I will miss your work as well. What are your plans for the train collection? Surely you can't fit all that into an apartment. It would be a shame for it to all end up scattered and tossed away.
I wish you health and happiness, please do continue to frequent the forum. You did in fact make friends here and we would all like to continue hearing from you frequently. In fact, now that you won't have to worry about maintaining a railroad you can spend more time on the forum!

Sorry to hear that Ben, but health is most important, let me know if you consider an indoor layout, maybe a ceiling layout? I'll help any way I can, Vic
