On Lostock Junction, Mike has a cassette system using the metal version of 2x4s (the construction type) which are actually a C shape and big enough to run HO track down the 2" side. His layout is big enough that there are 3 stacked loops with straight sides long enough to take an 8' cassette that the trains just run through. And another section where the spares (empty and full) can be stored.
I think Mike is still the only operator brave enough to change over a cassette with 7 feet of train in it.
They have some sort of fancy wiring connections in them.
