Demo Day COMPILATION: 27 hours over 4 days to dismantle my layout

After months of planning, building, and running trains on this years O Gauge layout, it’s time to say goodbye.

This is the full compilation of my three-part layout teardown series — 27 hours of dismantling captured over four intense days. From carefully removing scenery and structures to pulling up track and wiring, every moment is here. If you want to know how to pack and store the largest single builder train garden in America then you need to see this video.

Whether you’ve followed the journey from the beginning or are just discovering the layout now, this video captures the final chapter — emotional, messy, and unforgettable.

🔧 What’s Inside:

• Time-lapses of each teardown session
• Behind-the-scenes footage of the process
• Reflections and thoughts during the takedown
• A tribute to the layout before it disappeared


📆 Total Duration: 27 hours
🛠️ Filmed Across: Four days
