    Ok, so I finally came to grips that my 'modular' layout is going to spend it's entire life hung up in my garage. I've since started a new HCD layout.

    It seems a shame for me to just cut up the modular layout, so I'm going to give it away. Obviously, this means the taker would have to be near me, in the Twin Cities/St. Paul.

    images are here: https://picasaweb.google.com/timdiez/ModularLayout?authuser=0&feat=directlink and a couple here https://picasaweb.google.com/timdiez/TrestleWork?authuser=0&feat=directlink

    All track is in place, and wired for DCC. I'm keeping the NCE interface panel, and the legs. It breaks down into two pieces for transport.

    So, let me know if anyone wants it, or knows someone who might want it.

    Sounds like someone is going to get a great deal!

    First photo link appears to be a dead end, though...

    I might. I am on the other side of that little pond (Lake Michigan). But, let me check out the logistics of coming to get it, and I will let ya know in the next day or two if I can get to ya..

    Wow. A lot to be simply given away!

    If Tudor can't make it, I'd likely be interested. I'm down in Mankato, so only a short distance away.

    I figure I'm going to just tear it up anyway. I put a lot of work into it and would rather give it away than put 'er in the trash :) This way, hopefully it ends up in a good home, and not as a set for a 3 year old godzilla or something LOL

    I just checked, and you are further away than I had thought. If you would consider shipping if even that was possible, I would love to put it to use. If you don't want to mess with that, go ahead and offer it to Jim, because not sure if I could make the trip (about 500 miles around the lake) to pick it up..

    I've got a 1700 sq ft space I am starting a layout design in, and that sure would be a good start for my new metropolis.. ;)

    Well, if Tudor is bowing out, I'll sure take you up on the offer. The layout would be put to good use. Let me know.

    If everyone above falls through, I'm interested. I've been wanting to get something running for my two girls, just haven't had time. I'm over in Green Bay with family in Lakeville and Brooklyn Park. I get over there every other month.

    I'll officially bow out so it don't toss monkey wrench in a cool set up. It would be easier for him for you to pick it up over entertaining trying to ship it, because I know I'm not gonna be able to get that way anytime soon. So, it's all you Jim..

    That's cool of you, Tudor. And mighty big of DiezMon to make the offer in the first place. We'll see if everything works out.
