Of all the funerals that I've officiated, I've never seen a U-haul behind the hearse! 
My former club in Ocala, FL, has received and is caring for a few different layouts. They have some interesting stories about getting these layouts out of their former homes and into storage at the club facility. The plan is to reassemble and maintain these as public display layouts. One such layout was already setup as a display layout in a Christmas/Antiques Barn that I visited often. When the barn closed down the layout had to go. I'm glad to see somebody caring for it but I haven't been around down there recently to learn about its current status.
And of course the former operating crew of John Allen's Gorre & Daphetid had talked about which one of them would stay in the house and maintain the railroad. That was before it burned down and nearly took the house with it.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
