That ballast is a work of art!  Love it.

Thanks!  It was a lot of work over the past year, but Stacy and I have been

Mark,

I've also seen people use the 2x2 turntable plate at strategic locations
under curves to connect to base plates, with tiles to provide support where

I have seen this as well and it is on my 'To-Do' list for my corners.  I talked
to a couple people at Brickworld 2009 who indicated that it significantly helps
in stiffening the corners for transport.  I believe that SCLTC uses this scheme.
Ted Michon might be able to chime in on this.
