To Jason and Cary: It's actually pretty sturdy. The only real potential weak spot
is where I have stacked the thin walls with the 1x2 dark gray plate in between
them. If you will notice the row of plates onto which the grill tiles are sitting:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=71379
Those are 4x6 plates (6x6 on the corners), so I have an inside rim of onto which I
can attach each floor when I get around to it.
I can carry it around with no problems. The trouble has come in vehicle
transportation. I have driven with it simply laid on its side in the car and stuff
loosened a bit, so I'll probably transport it vertically from now on. I have not
even thought about transportation for long journeys to shows-- lots of foam I
guess:-/

To Larry: Funny how this ended up back in trains.org. Not so funny how you have
completely fractured the thread with your obsessive micro management. Go moderate
your own site.
