I can't say enough about buillding a home layout in sections. My sections are 4 - 6 feet in length and right now I could dismantle my entire layout, including L-girder supports and aluminum backdrop in less than two hours. My sections have brass alighment pins and are held together with C-clamps. The electrical buses are joined with Anderson connectors. Even if you never plan on moving, or have to, it's so much easier to be able to remove a section to a more comfortable working area, which is what I'm doing right now for trackwork and scenery upgrades.

I am building a "permanent" layout. If I have to move from this house, I would probably keep the structures and nothing else. I could build much better track now, and probably much better scenery. I am already tempted to tear out sections and replace them. If I had built modular or sectional, I probably wouldn't have the courage to trash it if I had to move. -Michael Eldridge --- In [email protected], "Bill Lane" <b...@...> wrote: > > Portability..
