@KarlDL posted:I was going to use Mianne benchwork, but the evolution of the track plan, plus the desire to construct this in relocatable pieces (to facilitate dismantling, cleanout, and relocation/repurposing upon death or disability) is pushing me more toward DIY, using framing sawn from upper-grade 3/4" plywood. Being mostly retired, I have the time to cut and assemble. I will use Midwest cork roadbed on the main lines and Woodland Scenics foam in the yard etc., both atop Homasote. The latter may not be essential, but since this is going to be constructed in an unused (heated & finished) bay of the garage barn, which is somewhat of an echo chamber with little opportunity for sound absorption on the walls or ceilings, using Homasote should keeep the cacophony reasonable.
Thanks for your input. It will be DIY bench work and I was hoping on 1/2 plywood with 1" foam on top. Not sure if homosote or foam will be better for my layout. Again thanks!
