Removing the drywall and bolting the framework to the studs is a great idea if you are going to keep the room as a dedicated model railroad room for a long time, and bolting any benchwork to a concrete floor, as in a basement, is equally good practice. However the person who started this topic is building a 'peninsula' into the center of a relatively small room, and is concerned about the stabiliy of long, tall and very narrow benchwork freestanding in the middle of that room, and that is not able to be attached along a wall on its "long" side, and maybe only at a narrow end. <br /> <br />FYI- I'm doing exactly what you suggested re: the drywall and the bolting, in my new basement location dedicated railroad room. <br />BILL
