On Saturday August 16th from 1 pm to 4 pm at 3059 Old Montreal Road Cumberland (near the Cumberland Heritage Museum) there will be an open-house for viewing and bidding of an estate. This layout is the fourth professional major layout that the couple have worked on for which they have received many awards both in Canada and the US. There are two lots that are open for bidding. Please note they are to be sold complete, please do not make offers for parts or pieces, nor will offers be entertained to purchase only the structures or components of the layout. It is an awesome layout and will start off a train enthusiast with superbly built bench work, modularly constructed, with sections of the layout that are completely finished, detailed weathered with all buildings containing lights. This will be a silent auction. Interested persons are invited to write their offers, with their name and phone number and then submit them to the seller. The first lot is for the complete layout and all of the locomotives, rolling stock, power supplies etc. The second lot will be for the contests of the workshop, all the boxed locomotives, kits, building kits, tools, paints, supplies and reference materials. The seller retains the right to accept any or none of the offers. The winner, if chose, will be contacted and it will be up to that person to engage the assistance and means of transport to remove the layout to their own location before the end of August 2003.
