Hello Richie,
The way that I have this designed, no part of the Train and train equipment / gear will come in contact with the frame. I will have a plywood sub-floor, then the foam, and then some sort of matt. Along the sides I will add some short ( about 3" high above the ground level ) of wood rail as a protection and a safety feature to prevent any accidental over-run of a miss-guided train or car...he he
Thank you for your interest.
