Hi Earl: The setup isn't as onerous as it sounds. The modules employ various tricks for quick (relatively speaking) set up and take down. The 5-section module belongs to Pete Moffett. That how he gets his 18-foot module to fit in his minivan
We haven't started work on it yet, but Andy Malette and I plan to do a clinic on transporting layouts at this year's convention in Chattanooga.

You have some troopers in your club to have 4 members transport, set up, and tear down 9 modules. I am glad it was well worth the effort. The modules really looked great in the photos you provided. Could you explain more about the modules that have five sections? By they way, your check for distributing convention information is in an envelope. I need to go to the USPS to find out how much postage for mailing to Canada. But thanks for promoting the NASG Convention. - Earl Henry, Nashville In a message dated 5/8/2012 10:57:22 A.M.
