I would consider some simple 5" or 6" T-hinges to fold the layout down towards the floor and to hold it in place. Make sure the hinge screws hit studs in the wall and not just wall board. To support it during operation, I'd build simple folding saw horses to the proper height. This is quick & easy and gives you a solid base. Folding legs or a chain support system might give you a wobbly layout. (Good if you're modeling earthquake-prone areas.) <br /> <br />Wayne
