I've started packing; got a load of buildings that came off the layout, most reusable, a few "might come in handy" but I also have quite a few lifted from the layout as mini dioramas, and one larger 3'x2' diorama; do I strip down the dioramas and pack as individual buildings, or leave as units and hope they will fit in on a new layout?

I suspect it will be easier to pack the individual buildings, rather than the dioramas. This is what I found when I dismantled my previous layout.
If you can keep them in one piece I would. You can always break them down later if need be.
Had a bit of a sort out in the ex layout room; found a Peco box with 14 lengths of unused code 80, so that'll be me new fiddle yard sorted. Also been winning a few sets of points on fleabay.

Agreed. Once they're broken they'll be harder to put back together. So if you can safely transport them intact, that's what I would do. Good luck with the move.
I would go with keeping them as whole units if you can find away to pack and ship them safely.
