Here's a thought for holding the modules together and up off the floor. Drill holes through the both ends of every module, one on the left of the 1x2 and one on the right, but both on the ends that will be butted together. Then use my favorite lightweight building material, PVC, say 1" x 72-74". Then using "T"'s and or elbows and proper length vertical pieces create the legs. If the pvc fits in the holes pretty tightly it should be pretty stable. Maybe use Spring clamps like welding clamps to also hold the modules together. <br /> <br />You may want to consider "N" scale. There is already and established method for what your trying to do called T-track modules. <br /> <br />also consider Kato Unitrack or Atlas's similar track for ease of breakdown and re-assembly. <br /> <br />Never be afraid to think outside the box Good luck, Dave
