I'm new to model railroading, and currently have my train on the floor(but not directly on carpet). I'd like to build a "table" to put my layout on and to eventually build into a true layout. My current track plan is 5 1/2 x 10 1/2 and in HO scale. What's a cheap/easy material to build with? I know 1/4"-1/2" plywood with blue or pink foam as a top, but what about underneath that? The obvious is 2"x4", but isn't that extremely heavy? Also how would i go about building a modular piece? I'm not going to be able to reach the other side of a 5 1/2 foot table. <br />Any and all ideas would be appreciated. <br />Thanks, <br />chewie8han
