Two things...




Thanks to @DeltaBravo Windsor St is back on its feet. LOTS to do before it's operational again, but that doesn't mean I can't shoot photos.

Wow that building in the background looks like it might be melting.

They do, that was clever using pens for push button turnout control.  Well Done sir.

The pens were the easy part... figuring out to use bicycle brake cable to get to the ones in the back... that was inspiration!

The final chapter for Windsor St has been written on Sunday October 24th.



It's good news though: @mu26aeh came and picked it up to take it to its new home.

Here, he and Ken Kime (an awesome O scaler), are carting it out into the trailer for its ride to Gettysburg.


I think this was easier than the U-Haul I used to get it here.



We had a cameo of past @wm3798 moves. But it was only to zip off some of the protruding supports underneath so it'd sit flat (and not impale Adam's head while wiring things up).



Finishing touches on the travel prep.



This is what cracks me up about the whole thing. The more things change...



The more they stay the same.





Yep, ladies and gents, that's just as good a fit into Adam's space as it was from Lee's to mine.

Thanks everyone for following along with this journey. It was a lot of fun and I could not think of a better end to it.

They are very quick to get items out.  And customer service was great also, as my Crash Smash Xplode version only last 2 washes before the lettering started peeling.  (Seemed very prototypicial) I took a couple pictures, sent them a replacement request and about a week later I had a brand new shirt that made it's debut yesterday.  Looking at the 2 shirts, the first one must have laid the yellow on thicker than required, resulting in the peel.
