On the move

 The crates have gone into the lorry today. It may be some time before I see them again as we still haven't exchanged on our Teignmouth house.

PLR Ready for transit

It took several days to separate all the boards and get them downstairs and then dismantle and clear all the staging and workbench etc. Here are some photos of the progress.

All the boards downstairs into the conservatory:

Notice the odd shapes and height of some of the boards - this is certainly not a railway built on a flat piece of board!

Crated up ready for transit:

There are 4 crates each with several boards within made using the wood from the loft staging and with the high hill as a separate piece. The crates are designed to be carried by two people and stack for transit. I've used pallet cling wrap on the scenic boards to keep them clean as they could be stored for some months before the new log cabin home is built. The removal people frowned when they saw it all (they had been warned).

The clear loft:

What a nice railway room it would make! However, I don't think the new owners are that minded. This room was actually one of the reasons we (well me) wanted to buy the house all those years ago. It didn't have the floor boards nor insulation then. Note the water tank that dictated the big hill and the track spiral which tunnelled down behind it.

So Devon next!
