Field notes
The configurable run is assembled from valance, backdrop, and base modules in 12- or 18-inch widths, with depth and clear height chosen for the whole run. Side walls and scene-to-staging walls have half-inch scored grids for cutting track portals; the page also specifies 3.75 inches of under-deck clearance for turnout motors. The current presentation uses design renders, with photographs promised after the first build.
