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.   Icon_cool

Best of luck with your move!

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.
