Well, the first question we have to ask is, "What scale?" Sounds like you're planning HO, but it could also be N. <br /> <br />If the door is sturdy, no reason not to use it. However, you'll probably want to put something between the track and the door if you're using HO, even if it's 1/2" or so of cork, foam or Homasote. It'll help deaden the sound of the wheels on the track, which could be amplified by the hollow door. Plus, a thicker layer will give you the ability to have track on more than one "level", or to model things below track level like culverts, ditches and the like. In the "real world" track is rarely all at the same flat level, so it'll enhance your scenery if you have the ability to have stuff at different heights. <br />
