When I started out on my 1st phase of the layout I was making the steel tables in 8ft. sections & at the time(about 2 years)I was planning on selling the house. With the way everything was bolted together I could take it down in 4x8 ft.sections. Well, since then I have decided to live here the rest of my life. The 1st phase was 18 by 18ft. I was retired for a year & a half & all I did was work on the layout, about 8 hrs a day, 5 or 6 days a week. Then I got hard up for spending money & decided to go back to work. I built some more steel tables(welded together) & added another 18 by 18 ft. Now, the size is 18 by 36 ft. It would be almost impossible for me to seperate it in sections. The front door to my building is only 12 ft. wide wide & 14ft. high. I might be able to wedge it out corner to corner of the door, but would need a crane to accompli***hat. I do have a table that is 2ft. wide by 36ft long that is going to be phase 3 when I expand. Then I'm planning on adding phase 4 by adding another expansion in the center & then phase 5 will be the ultimate expansion, but the easiest. I hope to live long enough to get all this done. I'm 66 going on 67 this year. I also have a full time job w/Wal-Mart working in the warehouse, which is tough on the bones. I only get to work on my layout on my days off(2). I'm heavy into scenery, lots of track & switches & like to run trains at least an hour each train day. Plus I make all the train shows in the season(sept. to April). So, I have a lot of room for expansion & hope to fini***hem w/in the next 4 years. Larry66
