Dear Rich,

Hope you have success in the sell and move,

but if you end up having to hang tough for the year, I can see a Micro or Small Shelf layout in your future... ;-)

Happy Modelling,

Hope you sell your house soon. 

Now as the Prof says a small module might be in your future. Something that you can work on in the meantime and then take with you to incorporate into your future layout.

I just came from the Prof's micro layout, the "Brooklyn: 3:AM "  a micro layout.

An excellent micro layout Prof. Working toward a small layout myself.

Seems like it's still a tough market in most areas. Lots of houses out there. Trips to Florida don't sound so bad to me Rick! Of course, it's 52 and supposed to rain here again today.

Good luck in the sell.  They say the market is kicking back but I don't see it, especially where I live.  Advertise the size of your basement to attract fellow modelers!

My fiance and I just went through the opposite of what you're experiencing: we looked at 60 homes and only made 3 offers.  Fortunately, our last one was accepted!

Right now, I can't build anything substantial in the basement until we knock out a few major construction projects so I'm thinking of starting a few modules or even a section of the future layout. It'll be the only way to keep me from checking into a mental institution!

Empty space and no trains makes Johnny a dull boy...

I got hooked on the AMC show "The Killing" which is set in Seattle.  Each show is 1 day long (now up to 17 days) and a lot (most) of them are set in the rain-pouring, incessant, rain, rain, rain............it really kind of adds a lot to the darkness of the story.  The one question I have, do people who live in Washington State have some kind of aura around their bodies that keeps the rain off, as I never seem to see the actors getting wet!?  What's up with that??

Wow, does it really rain that much up there?

That link didn't work for me; this one did:  http://carendt.us/scrapbook/page87/

My last post was meant to reply to your post but ended up at the bottom.  What's up with that ??

Dear Peter,

Simply, the forum lists the posts in the order that they arrive,
not with any "hierarchical" reference to the post they jumped-off...
(I've had situations where I was in the process of replying to the last post in a thread, only to find that by the time I hit "Save", 3 or 4 other people had already posted, thus "spacing my post" away...)

Happy Modelling,

You may very well have to get rid of the layout in order to sell the house.  People in general have a very lacking imagination.

You may very well have to get rid of the layout in order to sell the house.

The very reason I took a bunch of photos of the completed room prior to starting any layout construction. I really hope we never have to move but if we do I am going to print the photos large and place them in the train room so the buyer sees what the room looks like without the layout. What Benny says is sad but true. Lot of people have a hard time visualizing.
