Why not just put it up for sale, instead of breaking it down, if I had the funds that would be great for many reasons , one being getting a piece of art from you, keep the train and auction off the layout, but I understand why you would want to keep and use on another project, thanks Dave!
I cringed a wee bit watching Ezra Washington’s blacksmith shop being demolished but somehow "saved" for a future reincarnation…I loved the story behind that section. Happy Trails, Ezra.❤️🐴
Thank goodness the outlaws will have a new hang, gotta have some colorful characters around. I've read Remington, Moran etc, destroyed and or painted over their works to create 'better' masterpieces. I may miss a few episodes here an there, but I'm in for journey with ya. Love to see it in person one day.
The good doctor was added at a later date, though I had always planned for him to be there. Interesting story, the figure was sculpted and painted for me by a friend from Down Under but he was shipped to England by mistake. By the time he finally made it to Jerome, little Indy was a real world traveler!
Yikes so much demo! Kept thinking an oscillating multi saw would be a great help to cut up scenery, although i know next gen will be even more beautiful.
Pegasus has a range of neat 1/48 scale items. The Cactus sets is good but they have a set of miners with mules, Monks/Friars . They also have some Palms and a set of dead trees and debris. Thx
Dear Dave, it’s rather interesting to see how you approach the taking apart of all the removable components of the ‘hanging rock’ section. Even those parts that you now discovered were glued in place too firm at first glance, at the very least seem to be recoverable. Such knowledge in itself is very helpful for all of us who have experienced a reconstruction of our layouts. Awesome how many parts you were able to save. Will be great to see these components reappear on the Thunder Mesa 2.0, or any other project you’re planning. Definitely agree on the instant reuse of items, rather than letting them get covered in dust, or in the oblivion of storage containers we tend to use. Just as an ‘afterthought,’ considering the Bandit Canyon. Even though you designed this layout as a stand alone project, would be cool to removably integrate with the Thunder Mesa 2.0. In my wildest imagination, as a kind of ‘Flying Dutchman’ bandit coal mine. Might be too much of an afterthought, just a funny idea to tinker with. Cheerio
Hi Dave, Was soll ich sagen. Einen Modellbauer nach dem Sinn seiner Arbeit zu fragen, ist müßig. Eine solch gelungene Anlage zu demontieren ist sicher Wahnsinnig. Bis zum wirklichen Neuanfang habe ich ja die alten Filme. Mit schönen Erinnerungen und guten Tips. Adios for now. Wolfgang vom Niederrhein
Sad to see it go, But looking forward to watching the new layout take shape. I very much enjoy watching you create new structures and scenes. You are a Great Artist Ser. The way you bring things to life is amazing.
@@ThunderMesaStudio The oscillating tool does not create the same kind of vibration that a reciprocating saw creates which is one reason that it would work well in this application. That and the opportunity to make plunge cuts. I think you would like it, if the budget allows.

I'm rebuilding sections of the layout for various reasons and this is an ongoing series. Thanks for watching!
@@ThunderMesaStudio understood thanks Dave!

Being a "relatively" new follower I'm glad I got to know the Thunder Mesa when I did, I look forward to the Phoenix like rebirth of Thunder Mesa 2.0.
Moving forward is a little hard .The rewards are great .
Hard to watch a fantastic layout come down. But really looking forward to the new version. Thanks for sharing.
My grandparents house (now my uncles) is on Devil's Garden Road here in CT 😂 I always thought it was an odd name.
I know watching this will sting a bit but I’m so excited to see what comes in the future!

Hmmm, not recalling Dr. Jones. I guess I need to go back and watch the end of that video to refresh my memory.
Ah, whew, not going crazy. You didn't add him at the end of that video. 🙂

Dave, Where you friends with John Olson? It's my understanding that John worked for Disney, also. Then, of course, how about Malcom Furlow?
I have never met John or Malcolm in person. Malcolm has passed on, but I would still love to thank John Olson in person for all of the inspiration.
Learned a lot watching you take things apart! Can’t wait to see 2.0. Thanks for sharing!
Yikes so much demo!

I fear the vibrations from a tool like that might do some damage to delicate models.

Yes, great stuff!

I am learning how to take care and save when you do need to take apart a layout. Thanks for sharing this prosses.
GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
You are definitely the Fred Jeorger of the narrow gauge model railroad world!
You are too kind. I need to name a locomotive after Fred!
I didn't know you put Indiana Jones in your layout! So awesome
Indy was a gift from a friend
Absoltly splendid, spectacular layout!!👍👍
It’s sad seeing your hard work leave but exciting to see what comes next 😊😊😊
Dave, the War Wagon will look awfully good on the Bandit Canyon Railroad.
So sad, I am holding back the tears, Dave. But I look forward to seeing you build the new layout. Great Video. Thanks for sharing!
Reconstruction starts soon!

Thank you
Your tear down videos are as interesting as your building videos.
That's good to hear
I agree with David that an oscillating saw would be helpful in getting some of the glued down items out.
I fear the vibrations from power tools like that might do more damage than what they would save.
