Starting New

Lessons learned from dismantling an old layout.

Hi gang,
Just a couple of lessons learned when dismantling my old layout that was on a Plywood base. Don't use airplane glue to secure the cork roadbed to the Plywood, it's a big time job to remove. Next Don't over spike [Ed: use to many] the rails. I'm in the process now and it's time consuming. Once all cleaned up, I'll start the new layout that I designed using AutoCad, (computer aided drafting) which included the layout, schematics, wiring diagrams, control panel details, ect.
Hope this helps someone out there.

Have a good one,
ERNIE
