[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by pbjwilson .. If you think about it, in a basement anyway, why build a layout on 5' legs when you can hang it from the joists on 3' drops. [/quote] As Leon said, you are trading off generally unseen obstructions below your layout in favor of visual obstructions around your layout. For most, I would guess, this is unacceptable. I would have to have a very good reason for needing the area under the layout free to suffer the annoyance of supports running to the ceiling in my face every few feet. That said, one plan for future explansion of the Muddy Creek RR is to suspend a rather large section from the ceiling with a cable and pulley system. Once lowered however, it would bear on portable supports under the layout and the cables detached. Wayne
