Hello today Blue <br /> <br />When it comes down to scenery track and all I do nothing different in the case that I move or break it down. The track rolls right over the sections as if they were not there. If I have to I will just cut the track with a dremel and easily reattached. I plan on cutting on on side about three inches so that when I reattach it the cut is not over the section that is removed. As for scenery you need to do nothing. The ground foam will just easily come away from just the line that is screwed together to make another section. As for scenery it is so very easy to reapply plaster cloth that you just cut it with a razor (expandable boxcutter) and it will separate. The only real reason to do it in sections is to avoid having to hack it up in many different pieces that will never go back together just to remove it. You just have to unbolt or unscrew the 3" screws to hold each section. Your only worry is to cut the track and some scenery but thats all. Those are cosmetic fixes when putting back together. <br /> <br />I went as far as to not use a solid buss line underneath my layout. The buss line DOES NOT need to be one complete length and side by side. Mines is about five different pieces and they are just twisted and have those yellow screw caps from the electrical department holding them together. I have no electrical problems and never have. when I separated my layout I unscrewed the caps and then the screws or bolts and boom was done. <br /> <br />I will gladly walk you thru my steps taking if you request and provide pictures also. You can do it though!! Good luck
