Just a question to anyone and everyone.

Is building a switching layout in a shadow box the best way forward in making a semi permanent layout which may also get moved for display purposes?

I am thinking that the shadow boxes would make things easier and safer to move without damaging things, but the size would need to be suitable for one person ie me to move and stack in a vehicle or a custom trailer.

A lot of thought and planning went into the layout (6-8 weeks) before I started the build, each section of the layout (3 x 4'x15") weighs about 18lbs (22lbs with covers), easy for one man to lift and carry to the car, the shadow box with its covers protect it during transit
   
   

when the layouts is set up at home it sits on shelf brackets, all that mess on the floor has been cleaned up since the photo was taken!!
   

Hope this helps you, and look forward to your build!
