If you want to build a smaller easily portable switching layout, then don't use a hollow core door as the basis. A door is e.g. not very easy to transport in a regular car.
Instead, build it as two 3 foot or 4 foot x 15-18 inch sections, which you can bolt together into a box using two side plates when transporting it. Much more portable.
