Miniature World

A "project" that has recently been taking a lot of our time, is the amazing gift of a train layout - its owner is having to move out of his long-term family home due to age and the need to downsize. He offered the layout to Dale in return for the dismantling and removal of it all, (including all the hardware and benchwork) to ready his home to go on the market in Massachusetts.

His layout is fantastic, a clear labor of love over the years, and we feel honored to take it on and continue his legacy, by combining it with Dale's collection.

Look at the beautiful and realistic scenes he has created:

 

 

I've enjoyed working on this project, though I am not really a train enthusiast. It's sad to undo someone's detailed work but at the same time, it's been a lovely opportunity to get to know the nicest, welcoming couple and hear about their life experiences.

Here I am unscrewing track in their basement - as you can see, we are nearing the end.
