<p>I started into the hobby again with a hollow core door topped with 1 inch foam, no extra roadbed, hung on shelf brackets. Hollow core doors are rigid, light, and are a standard 80 inches long, enough to build a reasonable switching layout. A 12 x 80 inch layout is large enough for me to re-learn the accuracy needed for good operation. If I wanted grades, I would definitely go with girder construction and foam mountains.</p><p>I have 12 4'x2' and 4'x4' dominoes from a previous house, but they are too large for the current house so they are in a shed.</p><p>I guess whatever you plan to move you will need to lose some of it </p><p>Doug </p>
