Time for a new shed (Train Room!)
This week has seem the demolition of the existing shed - which was no good for model trains due to rodents, damp, and vegetation.
A new 4m x 12m shed will be going up later this month, with fully insulated walls and roof, and walls lined with plywood.
Once that is finished, it will be time to move in Wills St.

The New Shed
Things have finally settled down after moving and I am getting quotes for a new shed (aka Train Room).
WIth site constraints the best I am going to do is 4m wide by 10m long. This will fit Wills st length ways, but it looks like I might be taking a metre or so off the width.
The plans for the shed include full insulation and plywood internal walls.
Cheers

Moving House
Well, it had to happen.
A train set has led to a house move. The good news is that it has room for a pretty big shed out the back, although it may be a little narrow.
Give me 6 weeks and I'll post another update!

On the MOVE
Wednesday night saw the big move of Wills St layout from the AMRA club rooms at Glen Iris.
With the generous help of the AMRA members to load the truck, the task was completed within an hour or so. Thanks heaps guys!!
Lyons Transport are now moving it up to Mittagong where it will be stored for a while, until a place can be found to put it up.
I'm considering putting up the end sections of the street/track running area as this would make a good short term shunting layout in my shed.
Below is a photo of the layout and every other tiny bit belonging to the layout, loaded into the back of the truck.

Time for the Layout to Move
A tentative date has been set to load and move the layout.
Hopefully it will be next Wednesday night.
No luck looking for a house at this stage, so I might see about assembling the end shunting section in the garage/shed.
