<p>I went with 1x4s and 1x3s assembled into rectangles bolted together with bolted on legs and 3/8" A/C plywood screwed to the top with drywall screws.  On top of that I glued sheets of 2" Blue foam to build up the scenery.  This allows for portablility of the benchwork.  Also you can probably walk on it if you need to, and I can mount a turnout motor, signal drivers, circuit boards, LCC nodes any any manner of other digital equipment under the layout because of the plywood layer.  Worth the few extra cents per square foot if you ask me.  I would not touch OSB with a 39.5 foot pole.</p> <p>Also if weight or size of plywood is concern, Home Depot (and probably Lowe's will cut it for you for free (up to 4 cuts in my area, 50 cents or so per cut after 4). </p>
