Bingo. :) I have a ton of old 4.5 V track I can loan out if people want to do
it that way, but the new 9V track looks a lot nicer (there are twice as many
cross ties on the 9V track than the old 4.5V). For mocking things up at home
you could use powered track, though.
Depending on how ambitious people are in their modules, too, the assembly task
that each person takes on could be as simple as, say, picking from a nest and
placing it on the assembly fixture... to "pre-asembling" a module of two or
three pieces, then loading that onto the fixture.
The squares in the drawing represent baseplates (32x or 48x, whatever).
