Shadow Box design Layout build??

[Mobilgas]

I'm having trouble building a train layout with a valance /shadow Box...... with good support and will be strong and be portable???  Any ideas ...........I want to build this as my home layout in 8 foot sections?? and take to some train shows.

Found what I was looking for ........... Going to use Alum framing and plastic connectors just like they did on the O scale Dolly Varden Mine layout that was built years ago.

I published a long article about that layout. Let me know if it would be of any use for you. -- Russ

Russ,  Thanks.... I have all the mag's  total 37  just looked through the 2011 this morning nice article; D..... I'm waiting for the backdrop height measurement they used.  I want to get my order in for what I need for the alum framing and stuff.  I will not copy what they did I'm going to do my own thing. I have been a arm chair modeler for way to long if I don't do SOMETHING SOON ill sell all my stash.... E-bay here I come   I cut up all my Gazette's up but yours missed my X-acto knife

This is due to the course of things and the time in which we live.
For example, I once learned a profession that no longer exists today.

No wonder that you afterwards had some disgruntlement with U.S. mail ...
