I decided after 4 HO scale layouts with open-grid track work that I might not even have enough years left to build a model railroad, when I re-started with O gauge18 months ago. I didn't want to spend 2 years of whatever I had left building the benchwork the way Model Railroader shows. None of my HO layouts ever actually ran- the track was never smooth enough or electrical work good enough AFTER months and months of work. Then I would move.
I contacted a few of the modular tables people- and basically got an unsatisfactory response, or no response at all from most of them.
So- I called Matt Hewitt in Indianapolis- who will build the tables to your track plan, and deliver them, then set them up. Viola!! Time to lay track!! About the same cost, too. https://www.benchridge.com/
