Thanks for the nice comments guys!
Sumpter250; That's pretty accurate guessing! I'm using the Elfa shelving system, with wall mounted tracks all around the room, and have left a 2 cm clearing from the walls to make room for the tracks and eventually a backdrop. That leaves 286cm for the layout, with two 104 cm sections and one 78 cm section.
There is some flexing in the framework, but since the sections will rest securely on metal brackets I don't think it will be much of a problem. My biggest concern about the flexing is that some of the scenery along the edges may come loose after repeated handling if I'm not careful when I move the sections.
Stein; Good to hear from you again! I was beginning to wonder where you were hiding
What's the status on your layout, have you gotten around to fixing the problem areas we talked about yet? Thanks for the link btw, I knew I'd seen that page somewhere before, but had lost the link!
