Connecting Track on Modulars

I am currently building a sectional layout and I belong to a group that has a sectional layout that is moved around and a regular bases. Both layouts have the track running right up to the edge of the section. The sections are connected to gether electrically under the sections with plugs. This method allows for the ballasting to be in place at all time and when setting up it isn't necessary to install any extra track between the sections. Most modular or sectional layouts that I see do not bother to ballast the inserted track sections and they are very noticable. This detracks from the look of what might be a very well done diorama. When moving the sections, a flat piece of plywood is fastened to the ends to protect the track ends. It is rare that we have tracks being torn up during any moves.
