We are contemplating moving which means disassembling a 500 +- square foot layout with about 300 cars and around 75 locomotives. I no longer have most of the boxes the rolling stock or locomotives came in. What is a good, safe, economical way to move this much rail road. I am not saving any sections of the layout, as this is not feasible. I will be salvaging track & buildings for new layout. here are a few pics of what my problem is. I am sick about this, I started this layout in 1996 the thought of this large undertaking is overwhelming.
HELP!!!
I use bubble wrap and banker boxes.
Best of luck with your move!

I have a large roll of foam that has been in the way for years. I have started using that and plastic storage boxes
RE: moving !!!!####**** arg - Lester Perry - 07-05-2021
OK guys it is all packed up and about half of it is in storage in Florida now. the rest of it is in a trailer in my drive way We officially sign the papers Friday and leave Saturday morning. We are going to Fort Myers. If any of you guys are my way let me know. Oh yeah I used plastic totes and the foam I mentioned earlier.

Best of luck in your new home, Les, and I hope that once you're settled, we'll hear more from you on Big Blue.
I regret not having an opportunity to visit you when it was a much shorter drive.
