After twenty+ years of going to shows with modules, this much I have learned:
1. Where ever possible: Nothing fragile at or near the module ends. This is where all the "hands" install the fitters, and slide the rail joiners, and break the trees and anything else that arms, hands, shirt / coat sleeves com in contact with.
2. Always have spare "fragile details" ready to install, when the destruction happens.
3. Always expect "required repairs". Even the module interface, needs occasional attention as a result of "transport damage".
4. It is worth all the effort, to be able to play with your toys in public, on a much larger layout than most of us have room for at home.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
