Reply to "Two sidings - too crowded"

@Tom Tee  Tom kind of curious on your use of the 5mm plywood for you light modular sections. Is the material naturally resistant to warping or does the framing lock it into place. You also use separately cut sections for your elevated road beds.  What do you do with them to prevent warping over time?

After 3 years I am finding my 3 ply 1/2 inch nominal ply is warping, creating dips and operating problems. The 1x4 frames are holding up well. I am fixing certain areas, but since this layout will be torn down in 6 months or so, I am primarily thinking about my next larger layout. I have used some of Wescott's techniques on this last build, but have found I did not pay enough attention to keeping the track on plane, to the point where trying to run scale wheels was a failure. I would like to have a 2R scale line as well as 3R on the next one.
