We had to leave the two middle sections of the train yard home, because we had
no way to ship them.

For the uninitiated:  The layout is usually 45" longer (left-to-right).  Each
section is 45" long by 30/35/40" deep.  The pictures are showing 14 sections.

And this layout is now *history* - we have started dismantling it.  We have
plans for a new, bigger, better layout!  And yes, the new layout will be
compatible with 8-wide trains.  Blame John Neal for that!  ;-)
