You seemed to be a natural.Sadly your best offer of £2.50 and some Haribo wasn't quite what we had in mind! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Gwinnett Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Menasha is a favourite layout, and very inspirational. And available at a bargain price! Lack of storage space is the only thing stopping me from purchasing. Good luck on its final day. Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock_2007 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 ok £4, a bag of Haribo plus!! A bus pass with 3 weeks still on it sorry but that's as high as I can go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hell, if someone local to me has the space and is interested in forming a new crew for the layout, I don't mind chipping in on the purchasing price. Given a couple of months I could actually afford to purchase the layout on my own, if not for 2 things... 1. Lack of space to run it. 2. I am happily married and would prefer to stay that way.

DanielB Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nice to meet the crew of Menasha at Wakefield, thank you for letting me switch the paper mill, the luck of the Irish prevailed again and I didn't make any real mistakes on the switching moves! Unlike when I was switching Roundhouse and just kept making endless mistakes! Sorry Ian! I took plenty of photos, I'll post them here when I've gotten the photobucket album sorted through. Oh, and thanks for letting my CF7 have a nice run up and down the layout, it's likely to be the only run it gets for quite a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2014 I could have topped the Haribos with a large bag of white chocolate M & M's that we had withus but didtnt get round to eating at the weekend!! Menasha is a superb layout and I would love to add it to my collection but I have too many layouts as it is. I just hope that it goes to a good home rather than it get broken up.

DanielB Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 If it gets to the point where no one has bought it and it is going to be broken up, I'll probably take it anyway - depending on price, of course. Even if it means getting rid of a load of other stuff in my layout room so I can fit it in there all boxed up. It's too nice a layout to allow it to be broken up.

Butler Henderson Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Have to say it was the one layout that stood out at Wakefield in my opinion, had that something different to the rest and nicely sceniced while many others have the boards almost completely covered by tracks.

It's also possibly unique in the UK as an exhibition layout portraying a flat crossing - for me that's a "signature" US track feature; it does take a heck of a lot of space to do though - only the Freemo modules have - AFAIK - managed to portray a full 90° crossing between Railroads.

DanielB Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I think that my CF7 and 5 freight cars would look a bit small and lonely on Menasha. Come on chaps, anyone fancy taking up exhibiting this wonderful layout and fancy pitching in to save it from the knackers yard? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Menasha is now for sale on ebay at a bargain price: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111600040730?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Who wants to give it a good home.

298 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Some savvy clubs have realised that providing they've got the willing operators and stock, it is cheaper to buy a layout outright than pay usual operators expenses for a long distance visitor...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2015 Its a great layout with plenty of operating potential. If only I had room but its too tight for space as it is with the layouts I do have. Plenty of stock although it would have to become Menasha, FL!!

AndrewC Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The temptation is there but the budget isn't. Like Ian, it would have to move states. Menasha MT anyone? Lots of nice blue MRL units. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of nice blue MRL units. It's on eBay so why not make an offer, the track and points are worth money and the bridge is an unique item. Has good electrics and points being hand pulled are nearly bullet proof Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
