I am an apartment dweller also with a n-scale layout in progress.It started out in a smaller apartment as a 2 level 40" by 80" built with 1"x4"s and 2"x2" legs.When I moved to this bigger apartment I had to seperate the two levels and cut the legs off.I used dowels to attach the two levels back together and dowels,glue and bracing plates on the legs.Since the layout now has its own room I have built two more 'modules' that are attached to the original with butterfly bolts and added 'magic coasters'(not sure on the brand name) to the bottoms of each leg so I can easily un-bolt and slide the modules on the carpet to access hard to reach areas (for wiring mostly- once the track is in place it won't be moved). If I move again, I'll use my dremel to cut the tracks- unbolt the three sections, lift the top level off the lower, cut the legs again and go.1"x4" pine is very easy to work with- I used a hand saw and mitre box- and sturdy.If I knew how to post pics here I would!
