I considered take down before the onset of starting to build. But this is our first layout and there was just soooo much to consider (curves, inclines, declines, ensuring plywood roadbed was smooth with no dips or rises and was level from side-to-side, clearances, etc.) that it got overwhelming. I take a small amount of comfort in the fact that I'm using Lyn Westcott's old school techniques for benchwork - by the book - so I do not have any tabletops and can dismantle the benchwork in sections if need be. And the plywood/homasote benchwork comprises only the roadbed. Scenery will be independent and attached to the benchwork in sections. Peter
