Clear pine 1" x 2" with 2" blue foam on top worked for my 50' of 24" to 36" wide "shelf" style layout with legs and crossmembers every 32" and a 1 x 2 rim around the perimeter. Made my legs go directly under the crosspieces so no screws holding weight. My layout is N scale with the mountains made out of blue foam with LOTS of hydrocal rocks and some plaster cloth here and there. I have 60 structures, 60 rolling stock and 11 locomotives. It isn't strong enough to stand on, but it's plenty strong for what I have on it. Worked well.
