We are still in the process of emptying our old house to ready it for sale. I had initially decided not to salvage wire from the abandoned layout in the attic. However, when I do go to the attic to get a box, inevitably pause to pull wire from under the layout. I have collected quite a bit – 20-gauge multi-strand wire – there is plenty left.
*When you have taken down or modified a layout, what have you salvaged?
When we packed up in Tampa over 30-years ago, I boxed the contents of my layout – including a Bascule Bridge (post war Lionel) with a Lionel #45 Gateman. Although, I have found the Gateman, the Bascule Bridge is missing. I have no idea where it may have gotten to. I have been hoping for decades it was hidden somewhere in the attic. Now that the attic is almost empty of boxes, my hope is fading of ever finding it. It is one of my train hobby disappointments.
