No one has considered using metal studs.  It's dead straight and will never twist or warp.  It's fairly cheap (3 5/8" X 8' @ $4.79 & 10' @ $5.48).  It's easy to work with a little practice and already comes with knock-outs for your wiring. When I was a contractor I used tons of it for all sorts of construction. I'm really considering using it for my upcoming bench work.  Here's a sample of what you can do with it.  Just think your grid work could be your COMMON LEAD.   Think outside the envelope.

Who's layout is that? I would think that much metal in a layout  would  potentially wreak hovoc  wth a TMCC/Legacy signal.

To me it doesn't look like base framing for a model train layout.  It looks like a prefab outdoor kitchen base.  Look at what looks like rectangular boxes lined up on the floor at the left and far sides.  These would be foot rests for people sitting at the counter above.
