I’m looking to build a layout that I can move out from the back wall in my family room when running. Someone had a design for a layout supported by two bookcases with Appliance type rollers underneath for moving the layout. Does anyone have a link to that design. I did a search but could not find anything.

this is what I would build. I just had some water damage and this would have been great as it would be out of the way.

That's innovative. However, I would have some concerns. Some of the hardware isn't intended for that type of application; depending on what is used for the layout surface, there could be problems with the platform flexing - cracking the scenery and wreaking havoc with track. Could mitigate the flexing by screwing and gluing plywood to the frame, but would it then be too heavy? Flex would be less of an issue if the frame was rectangular, but it's L-shaped.
Not sure I'd park a car under it.
Here is a link to the Chippewa Central Design Appliance Rollers
