Hello Totara, I suggest the technique used successfully for decades now by NTrak and which other modular organizations and clubs in larger scales have adopted. Basically, the permanent tracks are set back a few inches from the edge of the benchwork. A piece of sectional track bridges the gap. This "bridging" track is slipped into place when the layout is set up to operate. Metal rail joiners keep this track in place and maintain electrical continuity. When the layout needs to be disassembled for storage, the rail joiners are slipped back along the rails (either on the permanent track or "bridging" track) and the "bridging" track removed. You can learn more about NTrak's methods at http://ntrak.mv.com/ntrak.html. Hope this helps, Paul Schmidt Contributing Editor Trains.com
