[^] [tup] <br />Great idea. <br />The only method I saw that was similar to yours was at a NMRA Division 6 meeting. The track was for aluminum siding with roll aluminum for the backdrop material. It required a channel at the top and bottom. But I think your discovery trumps that. Less cost, no top rail, easy to remove backdrop if needed and no screw holes to fill. But the killer application is a divider for island and peninsula layouts. <br /> <br />You should do an experiment to determine the maximum height. <br /> <br /> The only problem I see is with Home Depot. If it's sold out they wont reorder any more. That's the way of big box stores. They buy a mass quantity and if it doesn't sell fast enough, they drop the product. <br /> <br /> We need to find out where Home Depot buys these channels or who makes them. Maybe we can find other suppliers or buy direct from the manufacturer. <br /> <br />
