Just a couple of clarifications: 1. I plan on doing the design myself. No offense but I revel in the creative aspect of this and I'm not borrowing someone else's plan. Besides, I've already reviwed 6,428,246 plans and NONE of them suit me. (Inside joke for anal retentive perfectionists) RE: 4. Air flirtation would probably help (certainly won’t hurt), but I think that most here would agree that the best way to keep your track clean is to run your trains! ===> I am not speaking of track cleaning, I'm thinking of dust settling on my layout. Track cleaning is of course an issue but one can always throw technology at dirty track. RE: 5. The use of plywood is pretty much the standard, but more people are using foam. I’ve seen some members of my Ntrak club use foam for their modules, which makes them much lighter. I am referring to plywood for the benchwork - not the table top/sub roadbed. I read in model railroader about ripping 3/4" plywood to 2 1/2 width (1x3) and wanted to know if anyone had any insight as to whether this is a good system or not. Thanks much for the replies.
