Dave,

When do we learn whether the Juniata Division survived another move?

Dave,

When it moves.  The truck comes to take it away on Thursday.

It will be a few months before we get the basement finished out there so it may not be until fall before it's set up again.

I like turtles.

So I've heard.

Its hard but its OK. The AN is still sitting in its dedicated 5x10 trailer awaiting our move.

On Thursday we packed out.  Camping for a few days in a mostly empty house.  We saved Internet, a small TV, my xBox, and a DVR.

N scale Juniata Division ready for shipment to Colorado Thursday morning:



Enola Yard being carried to the moving truck.



A family of toads had taken up residence under the crated layout on my back porch!



Awaiting loading. Illustrates the folding legs:



The larger of the two sections--the one containing Lewistown--loaded and ready to go.



I would have preferred to ship it flat but the truck was on its way to pick up another load headed to Colorado.  For what it's worth, it's resting atop all of our mattress boxes.

The truck finally left with our entire household aboard as it heads to our eighth duty assignment in just 17 years.

Hope it gets there safe Dave and you enjoy the rest of your move!

Hrm... No likey. Bad medicine.

A family of toads had taken up residence under the crated layout on my back porch!

How bizarre. I hope you escorted them to a safe location...

They moved over to our worm box (my wife maintains a colony of earthworms for gardening...and as far as whe knows not as fishing bait for me and the boys) and helped themselves to the squirming buffet.  I should say they were handsomely compensated for their dislocation.  After my dog decided they'd had enough worm he cleared the porch.

No wildlife were harmed in the process, other than some pieces of worm (love how they regenerate).

Hrm... No likey. Bad medicine.

Yeah...  I wasn't so pleased with that either.  However, there's a reason the Juniata Division is 35% glue.

[Bsklarski]

I dont see why the layout would not be fine, as long as those boxes under the layout are strapped the same manor as the layout.

Fate alone says structures will find their way loose 

[Bsklarski]

I was thinking more along the lines that if those thin tall cardboard boxes below the layout fell over, the layout would slid straight down and the force of impact would shear off alot of the stuff on the layout.

I had thought the same thing. But at least Dave has a photo of how it was packed...should something dreadful happen.

[Dave V]

Nothing to be accomplished by worrying.  It's out of my hands.
