I am trying something a little bit different- I will build it similar to L-girder construction. <br />I brought home from my work place 175 strips of 1/2 inch 4ply plywood that they were going to trash. They are 5 3/4 inches wide by 8 feet long. I am in the process of ripping some of them down on my tablesaw to 2 different sizes. I will then dado the narrow pcs. down the middle and glue and nail the wider pcs to them to fabricate wooden I beams. This type of construction should provide a very strong base that should resist warping. I can also use this type of constrution for building the legs. <br />It maybe labor intensive, but I like using my tools, It's fun for me. And since the wood was free, I was able to spend more money on the other things I need for my railroad.
