It's been a bit over nine months since I posted that the layout was coming down. It's completely gone (has been since around March). I was able to salvage most of the track and a great deal of the benchwork. Roadbed and subroadbed went into the trash. All the structures (the pitiful few there were) are packed away, and rolling stock is sitting in the rented house in Charleston. I've joined the Charleston Area Model Railroad Club, and manage to exercise my equipment there on occasion. I have no idea when I'll have a new house in which to put a layout - the bad market has ours in New Jersey not selling anytime soon, it looks like.
