So are you saying the 2x2 ends will rest on the floor, be attached to the table for support and to keep them plumb?  Then the backdrop will be supported by the 2x2s and adding support to them?  Will the 2x2s be attached to the ceiling?

Mark,

You're asking about the vertical 2x2's, right?

Yes, they will get level glides on the end that sits on the floor.  I will attach them to the table for support and then add the 1/4" masonite to the front for the backdrop.  On the backside (to the right in the diagram), I will add 3 or 4 train display shelves.  Along with providing storage and the ability to exchange loaded cars for empties (and vice-versa), they will add stability to the backdrop.  At least, that's the plan.

The 2x2's will not be attached to the ceiling.  They should end up about 1-2" short of it.

George
