I think the only reason to build a module is if you belong to a modular club. For a home layout, sectional works a lot better like Dave Barrow's dominoes, but only if you are modeling a railroad located in the plains. Modules (other than fremo) are just too restrictive to be really practical for a model railroad. We do have one club member in the modular club who has built a module that fits into his home layout, and occasionally pulls it out to bring to a modular set up, but the need to have two mainline tracks at a specific location on both ends of the module would be too restrictive for a home layout to be built entirely to modular standards.
