Replying to my own post ...

Probably the single most important decision to made is on modular tables.
To do this right means making a sound decision and learning from the two
active train groups (GMTLC and PNTLC).  Since I there is no way I could do a
module of 20K-40K bricks, I think the GMTLC modules are out of the question
but I have looked at the PNTLC web site and think their ideas have a lot of
merit.  Going with someone elses standard makes a whole lot of sense to me.
