....to paraphrase an album title by Bongo & pals.

I think the time has come to dismantle my layout "Makerfield" and build something else (there's a thread on the layout on here somewhere). Whilst the layout took a lot of time and effort to build, I haven't really got much enjoyment out of the actual running, as I made some errors with clearances around bridges and sited the engine shed in what turned out to be the least accessible position and on a curve, so I haven't used it to any degree. Also a few of the points in the fiddle yard area aren't great and trains constantly derail on them.

Thing is, I can't bring myself to start dismantling it. Psychologically, it's a mountain to climb after putting so much time into it. And there will be a lot of wirring to unravel. But I want to build something with more depth, maybe on a couple of levels, with trains running over bridges etc., and site a depot in an area where I can actually see inside it & keep it clean.

So come on guys, give me some support here! Say some stuff that will help!
