Get your hands on some David Barrow articles. Basically, he builds simple sections that are 18" or 2' wide, and 2', 4', 6', or maybe even 8' long. His layouts aren't modular by the standard definition, in that they can't go together any which way. So it's sort of a portable layout. Portable because each individual piece is portable. I think it's the way to go for me on my hopefully soon to be future layout. Again, simple frames, made of 1x4's with plywood on top. He actually suggests ripping plywood into 3/4" x 3-1/2" pieces (to resemble 1 x 4's). Cool stuff, although many will say it's nothing new. I think David Barrow made the concept quite popular, however, and threw in a little bit of marketing by gaving it a cool name (dominoes).
