Earlier i mentioned going with 2x4 sheets. In that regard, take a look at this year's "Great Model Railroads" (available at your local hobbyshop). In it is a 4x8 N scale layout built wiht modules (N-Trak, i think). instead of having all 4 sections oriented the same direction, the middle two are turned 90 degrees.
By orienting it this way, you'd be able to move those modules over to a more permenant layout.
