QUOTE: Originally posted by TEFFY I'm 64 and my new layout (3yrs old) is firmly attached to the wall around the 12' X 15' room. When I'm gone I don't care what they do with it - I enjoyed it. I've seen a lot of donated layouts taken apart because the person in control didn't think this, or that, was done right.

QUOTE: Originally posted by cnw4001 Here's another thought. You're talking about the layout being disposed of 20-30 years into the future and by then the stuff you find of interest may well be antique for those doing the disposing. Thus you're going to get more value from the layout by building it for your peace of mind instead of being concerned that someone in the future will be interested in the past.
