So, in his book about getting started with Lionel layouts, Roland mentions he had a 5 x 8 portable layout that breaks down into two separate modules. This idea is attractive to me because I want to recreate a Lionel dealer display layout that is 5 x 9 (D264), have limited space for much larger that that, but I have some questions about it. First, does anyone have any pictures of Roland's layout? It seems like he was fairly well recognized in the hobby and I would think there should be some pictures of his layout available somewhere, but I can't find them. I guess one of the main questions I have is: can you only connect two modular layouts if the track is going horizontally across the two modules? What if you have a switch or piece of track that is running perpendicular on the table, how would that connect up? How big of a hassle is it to disassemble and reassemble a portable layout? Lastly, my other thought is possibly to create a tilt table and just keep the layout in one piece. Any thoughts about that? Thank you for all your thoughts and wisdom!!!!
