Over the next couple of months Kris and I will be moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the challenge of this relocation exercise will be the disassembly of my scale interpretation of the Reading Company in Pennsylvania coal country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began this two and a half years ago and the railroad gradually expanded. While I’d begun to install scenery, only about half the railroad enjoyed scale realism. Once we had decided to move, I stopped adding scenery and instead focused on operating the railroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon I will begin boxing up the locomotives, rolling stock and buildings. I will lift the track for future use and salvage elements of the electrical system including hundreds of feet of wire, dozens of lights and LEDs, plus numerous toggle switches that I used to control train movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, when I began planning the railroad, I failed to anticipate the need to take it apart. So, structure of the railroad consisting of wooden benchwork, as well as the scenery cannot be easily recycled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos last night using my Nikon Z7-II to help preserve how the railroad looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someday, the Wee Reading Company will rise again and it will be better than ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
