You're absolutely right that they will reduce the need for legs. One leg in the middle ot the 20 foot span would be all you need, and you might get away without even that. These baby's make great rafters or floor joists and to scrap them or rip them into little sticks because "they will warp" is a huge waste of expensive lumber. Of course, if you can use them AS rafters or floor joists, then that may be a more cost-effective use. But as benchwork, you could walk across these big boys or sculpt your mountains out of real granite on top of them. Dropping a beer cooler on one end of the layout won't derail an N-Scale caboose on the other. If your idea of modules are a portable layout, then you'll need traveling benchwork because 2x10's don't lend themselves to mobility. Wayne
