Hmm, i think honestly you would have better luck having scotty transport the layout to the enterprise, but i would say that the best thing to do would be to definately secure the corners underneath the layout with a kind of "x" framework from corner to corner, inside a box frame. This would have to be pretty strong in order to preventing the plywood top from sagging in the middle. I think it would also look pretty good when raised. But i would imagine that it would be at least a 2 man job in order to raise or lower the layout safely. I would definately use some kind of saftey crank on either side of the layout, run on a series of pullies. If the layout is anything other than a flat plywood base, i don't see how it could be possible to raise and lower it wothout stressing every joint that holds it together time and time again.
