They use 2x2 with a dado cut up the center of one side, then holes drilled to accept pins, cross drilled to the dado. The dado also accepts cross members so that you can have one set of legs that are always together. <br />I went down to the local lumber yard and bought 2x3's and dadoed them, cut them to length, drilled the cross holes at 2" intervals and glued in the cross members, squaring them up. I left the back legs at 6' to hold lighting, and a backdrop. The front legs were at 3' and we ended up putting a shelf panel at this height, and then random shelving under that. A few placed we put shelves in at sitting height so that they could be used as work benches. This shelving held the staging yard to the main layout. It worked pretty well until we had to take it down as a new president of the museum, didnt have the same fondness to the trains the previous one did. <br />Anywho, they worked well until that point, where they were taken down and brought to my house, where I cut even more uprights so that the front and back legs were at 6' for normal shelving. <br />I plan on building a sectional layout, and using this shelving system for the legs... The shelves I have are 2'x3' and 2'x4'... <br />I dont have an Ikea near me, and the shelves from Lundia are pricey, so I have to fabricate everything myself, which ends up being cheaper anyhow.<br /><br />Here is the Lundia site if you were wondering what I am talking about... http://www.lundiausa.com/shelving.htm<br /><br />And here is an old photo of what the shelves for the staging yard looked like...
