No..Seeing I am not rich I do not tear out my industrial switching layouts on a whim or because of the mistakes I made...I do carry the lesions learned to the next industrial switching layout when I decided its time to REDO the layout..I use the same bench work and just REDO the track work...Big Smile [:D] That BTW saves me mega $$$.

AC - I've been (and am) there.

I tore down my last project, and thankfully it was only in the unsceniked mainline running stage. I too am planning for a fall time rebirth. However, I built a temporary shelf layout up to pratice little things and at least be able to run something at home. The once a week club running nights never seem long enough.

Carefully contemplate your next move and plan. Save anything you can for future use, make a list of what you learned -good /bad points and things you want to change for the better from the layout you have now.

 My only expense on my new layout will be the benchwork - and the hours of sleep thinking of the new trackplan. Time well wasted.
