It sure looks like Jack's Mountain, to me...  Is that what you had in mind for that?

No, wasn't exactly sure how I was going to use it, just didn't want to see it get dumped.I have used it as a photo backdrop, but now it is in the way of my new build.,

I am open this Saturday the 18th or, we can wait until Timonium if that would easier? Then the 7th after that.

Let me double check for Saturday, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Need to borrow a slightly-bigger vehicle to ensure safe-passage.

Yes, too bad it's set in Colorado and not in Appalachians  :D

Change the trees and make the grass less brown...  Easy peasy!

Dang I am always missing these opportunities, sure wish I could get this. That work thing sure interferes with me keeping up with the forums
Long live the DRGW

It is every bit of 87 inches, I put it in my Highlander but needed the passenger seat moved forward.

Well if ChristianJDavis does not pick it up this DRGW boy would be honored to have for his upcoming DRGW layout
but he most likely will....

Pick up complete, from Virginia to Maryland and now headed to NJ. Thanks to @ChristianJDavis1 and Cody Wayne Fisher for picking it up and giving it a new home.

All in a day’s work. Made for a fun bit of driving, and the weather didn’t cause us any grief.

And thank you for giving me the opportunity to own it. It is now in it's new, semi-permanent home as I decide what to do with it. First things first is I need to fix those end rails, and maybe make a more-substantial frame for it (to possibly mount it on legs, or adapt it to free-mo or something).

After that, add a skyboard backdrop (at least as tall as the highest treetops), build a pair of 180° turns for each end - connected together behind the backdrop, perhaps with some sidings for staging - and then JFRT.

Stop, you're killing me; that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the original post. Would need to be moved from that shelf, though, as the shelf is just barely big enough for it, but I could definitely start designing loop ends for it in the meantime.

I thought about the Free-mo idea. I just could not transport it with a frame, plus that thing is heavy and I am not getting any younger. I used it as a programing track and photo backdrop for a time. But it looks much better on your shelf than it ever did in my basement.

Just imagine being able to run double-headed Bachmann K4 locos pulling a string of Micro-Trains PRR heavyweight passenger cars.

Well, I would need to get some Bachmann K4's, first. And more heavyweights. I have two brass K4's, but they need a little work. My usual passenger power for shows is an S1, so they have been on the back-burner. If you really want a double-header, though, I have some I1's I can put on; act now and I'll up your order to a triple.
