Depends on how much aisle width I need. I will likely mount the buildings in a way that they can be left on the dropleaf or easily removed before dropping the dropleaf. If after dropping the dropleaf, the height of buildings encroaches on the aisle width I need for taking stuff to/from behind the train platform, then will have to remove some or all of 'em. With the dropleaf in raised position, the distance from edge of dropleaf to wall is 14 inches. The aisle is only 30 inches wide when the dropleaf is fully lowered ... so, an 11 inch high building would cut that down to ~19 inches ... just 5 inches wider than with dropleaf in raised position. Will only remove buildings if I need the full aisle width.
Question ... what are your ideas for quick-disconnecting the buildings from the dropleaf if/when I want to do so? I don't care for hotgluing them. Could come up through the bottom of the 3/4 inch thick baltic birch shelf with couple of screws into base of each building, but that seems cumbersome. Need some way that's quick and easy to release yet still holds the buildings in place if I want to drop the dropleaf with buildings still held in place.
