4 x 8 Model Railroad Layout Question
Here is a model rail question from a fellow railroader. You might like to offer some ideas.
“I am thinging of a layout fitted onto a 4 x 8′ board. The only problem I have is it would be difficult to move around. If I make it 2 4 x 4′ boards it appears to work better. The boards would sit on 6 wooded posts: two for the left end, two for the center where the two boards are connected, two for the right end. Of course everything would have to be connected after the move. This should be not a problem as how often do you move house. Any thoughts from your blog readers would be appreciated.”

Hi Robert, I Have the same problem but I think I got it solved.The 4X4 solution will work. The wiring is another problem. Use two terminals for power.Where the two peices connect,let the track have a split unconnected. For the table use bolts for the legs. It makes it easer to break down and carry.I hope this will help you out? Take care and may your main line all green lights.
