gunrunnerjohn posted:I'd probably have some pins that go through the table and are secured under the table. Perhaps you could use something like a large washer and a cotter-pin to hold them in place. For lighting, a hole with a fixed connector mounted flush with the bottom that you'd just plug the lighting harness into.
With this setup, you could just reach under and pull the pins and connectors and then lift the buildings off. On our modular club layout, many of the buildings are on small landscaped foundations that all lift off with the building.
I like the pins/fixed connector approach.
You mention also that on your club modular layout, that many buildings are on small landscaped foundations that lift off with the building. That also sounds interesting wherein I might make tailored platforms for each building/scenery but standardize the locations of pins/electrical connector for each platform in same locations to mount them on the shelf. Then the shelf holes would all be the same pattern where I could easily switch building/scenery platforms around on the shelf from time to time .
Wonder if you/others might have some photos of one or more buildings that are mounted on small landscaped foundations with pin/electrical connectors? I am envisioning something like a mini-diorama mounted on, say, ~1/8 inch thick Masonite or something like that.
