I'm turning the page on this crap. Laid off 3 people due to COVID-19 and negotiating with a new client now to begin services January 15 of 2020. I really believe that if I can come back this year I will retire the day after my daughter graduates from law school.

if his layout modeled an actual town/region, it may be worth contacting their chamber of commerce or libraries to see if they are interested. If your dad was a member of any local model railroad club(s), maybe they know of someone or have a place to merge it into their club's layout? As a last resort, check with a model railroad store and see if they have any suggestions about where it could be re-homed to. I doubt there is any huge monetary windfall in the individual pieces, so it would be nice if someone had a new home for it where the whole layout could live on as your dad's legacy. On a side note, I vividly remember an old model railroad store in Piscataway that I rode past all the time as a kid. Believe it or not, it is still in business...and even has a web site!!!

My parents had friends in Manhasset back in the day and would go over to their castle (literally) for social gatherings when I was around 5-6 years old. They had a huge layout just like your fathers and I was in awe. Their kids let me run them and that got me hooked. |
