Scott:
One of the layouts I operate on has cassettes made from metal 2x4s -- the ones used for constructing walls. Basically a C channel, they take a length of HO track.
The layout is pretty large, and there are 3 return loops stacked along one wall, each running through one of the cassettes. They have some sort of electrical contacts, but I haven't looked at them. He has a bunch more stored under the layout with trains in them.
The layout's owner is the only person I've noticed with the courage to change 8-foot cassettes with a whole train in them.
