The difference of a module to a segment or section of a layout is quite simple - a module has standardized ends, so it can interface with any other module which is built to the same standards, while swections or segmnet only fit in their bespoke place of a layout. Modules don´t have to be square or rectangular, they can be of about any shape you can think of. Dave, I strongly recommend the modular approach, according to the Freemo or any other standard the folks in your club can agree upon. I also like the idea of a "project manager", whose job it should be to coordinate the development of a master plan for the layout and the assignement of who is going to build which module to the club members. I have been a member of a round robin group building a NG layout this way and it worked nicely! When I moved away, I simply donated the modules I had built to the group, which has the layout set up in the basement of the home of one of the group´s members.
