I use two 2 X 2 end modules to complement my 2 X 4 module on a banquet table as a BYOZ; no need for legs. In addition the two end modules together make a simple, small BYOZ of a nice size for portability. Also, my 2 X 4 module, when alone, also serves as a BYOZ or as an end module. I have the best of both worlds, module or BYOZ. Occasionally when I go to a show, I do not know in advance what the group setup will be; but I can go either way with no muss, no fussl if I remember to bring my legs. These pieces' track layouts were designed by me, but built by fellow Z'ers, Tom Gilchrist and Chris Germond. As always the pieces are a project in progress .

P.S. No, I won't send a track plan. Our next "viewing" is Nov. 15-16 at Puyallup.

Thanks for your thoughts Jim. I've already built the 2x2s so I'd like to do something with
them. I was already thinking of "up-ing" the size to 2x3 if noone on the list had a good
answer to track planning in the limited space.
