Krump, On page 172 of the walthers N and Z catalog there are pre-made 30"x 48" layout terrain bases.  There is at least one continuous loop plan.  They appear to not include track, and weigh 12 lbs according to the info provided.  I am not endorsing this product as I have never used it and I have no affiliation with the company.  Track plans can be found here: <a href="http://www.terrainfortrains.com/Trackp~1.htm">http://www.terrainfortrains.com/Trackp~1.htm</a> This also allows for future additions (they are set up for that).  They are a bit pricey ($310 for the continous run piece unpainted, $385 pre-painted).  From your previous post money appears to be tight.  I ran some numbers, you could put $25-$35 a month in one of those christmas savings type accounts or something like that and after 12mo you have about enough to cover the cost of one of these pre-built layout pieces. They do not appear to come with benchwork.  I hope this is at least helpful.  You might want to run the track plan(s) past the LDsig members on here to flush out any potential issues before commiting to a design.
