At the Allegheny Western Lines, a modular group associated with GATSME in Ft. Washington, PA (www.gatsme.org you can see pictures of our modules). We have stayed with the NMRA standards of a 2' by 4' module and standard 9 inch connector tracks. We use foam for decking, but use 1/8" masonite underneath to reduce crushing. We use the Woodland Scenics trackbed system, it goes down fast. You glue the roadbed then glue the track. Their glue is better than anything else we tried. It dries in 15 minutes. The trackbed and glue are flexible which holds up better with modules that are moved to shows. One thing we have learned is to keep the weight down for anything you have to carry, especially a module. Having to have 2 or 3 people move a module gets to be a big pain. If you can hit a train show and see the modules, if you ask, almost any modular member will help explain construction and operation of modules. Doug Baer
