George, I used 1x 4 pine framing with 1/8 inch lauan glued and screwed to the the frame. Then just glue whatever thickness of foam board you want on the surface. It allows for a light weight, but rigid setup and it's not labor intensive. My railroad is a shelf unit running around the perimeter walls of the room which is attached with wood cantilevered support units. Most of the sections built like this are 2' x 8' with cross supports every 24 " or so. It doesnt have to weigh a ton to support your railroad. <br /> <br />Larry
