You did a great job on splitting the larger one, I'm not sure if I see the seam. Must make it easier handling and storage.

The board doesn't split. You can remove the drive band between the line shafts to drive either the three or four accessories separately. Or use two engines and drive both halves individually.

That is a great looking Wilesco setup. As noted, the modular construction is well executed and works very well.

Nice collection Bret.  Probably the most Wilesco accessories I've seen in one place.

Very interesting the way you've made these setups both modular and sub-modular. Well thought out and beautifully executed!

Great set-up and very nicely laid out.

Here are my two layouts featuring Wilesco. The larger board is 20 X 30 inches, the smaller one is 12 X 16 inch.
They were made years apart, but made so they can be driven together. Also, by removing a drive band, the larger layout
can be split.
