I ran out of steam the other night and didn’t get all the images posted. Here are another in the series highlighting the removal of the Port Kelsey in late September 2006.

The dock scene removed. I managed to keep this section, I may sell it if I can find someone who is interested in it.

It was certainly built to last! I had to chop it into pieces to get it out.

I was able to completely disassemble the helix and salvage all the flextrack (60 pieces) and the quadrants of the helix. This too I will see if I can sell.

All the trackwork on the next section being removed was built using the fixtures, and were fastened to the layout on cork roadbed. This proved to be easy to do, and allowed me to completely remove sections of track for use elsewhere. School for Scoundrels movie full

I was surprised how easily I was able to remove sections of trackwork without any damage.

Now this is a gut wrenching image. I had to cut right through this crossing to get the section out. No saving this piece, which was one of the very first pieces of trackwork built in a prototype of the Fast Tracks fixtures.
