Thanks for all the tips! Seems that Shinohara (Walthers) is producing a whole line in Code 83, due soon. I have some concerns about my older equipment running on smaller code rail than that and the prototypical look is slightly less important to me than the reliability of operation. Some have suggested using the abundant supply of Code 100 I have for the double main and dropping to Code 83 for the yard/sidings. Is this wise? The plywood is 1/2" on top of L-Girder. The only foam I have found is at Lowe's.. 1/2" blue stuff. Any ideas on where to find 2"? Since I began construction of the benchwork in the garage, it is all acclimated to the Florida heat/humidity of Spring. I plan to drop the foam on, run Masonite around the edge for a fascia and bring the 4X9ish section inside. Does the foam need to be glued to the plywood? That would solve the expansion problems...
