Joe-
At SCLTC, we build tunnels and subterranean structures by stacking tables on top
of each other using short legs and knobs bolted to the tops of the underlying
tables. We haved stacked as tables as high as 5 levels in one place when
creating mountains with multiple track levels. It's as cheap as you can get for
saving on brick cost because it requires no bricks at all. We bolt knobs that
fit in the bottoms of the table legs on the underlying tables to keep the whole
assembly together. In effect, the table system becomes a giant LEGO set held
together by bolts (adjacent tables at the same height) and knobs and tubes
(legs) vertically.
(BTW, if somebody offered me 1x16 Technic bricks for $0.20 each, I'd buy
everyone they had. I'm used to paying $0.65 and more.)
