From across the pond. I built two staging yards for the Freemo N layout used for the Operations Road Show clinics at this summer's NMRA national convention in Grapevine, TX. I used a very similar construction system for those modules using mostly 5.2 mm luan plywood for the module boxes. I also used alignment pins made out of one inch diameter aluminum tubing that is intended for shower curtain rods in the US. The modules went together splendidly at the show. I had a bit of rail damage, but i think that may have been because of bad handling of the modules when they were un-racked.
So with me in an Ikea shelf 10ft in length 1'-9"in breadth 1'-6" in hight.bHave fun! I decided to switch to an only bogie layout with a tram chassis like design on Peco OO9 track, using Kato Motor Chassis and for finescale purposes I lifzed the scale up in 7mm/ft to make use of the limited space I do have got. So I am dammnated to scratchbuilding... 😜
This looks like what I need. So, I just went in search of the alignment dowels and found them on ebay for AU$36, Which seems like a reasonable price. But then I see that the postage to Australia is AU$ 57 (this is for the dowels only, no drill bits), which is absolutely ridiculous for four small aluminum items.

Nicely done. Modular baseboards are the only way in my tiny flat. Very helpful thanks.
