When do most people add the fascia? At what stage of layout construction? Also, what's the best way to permanently attach fascia so that it doesn't have any flex, is permanent, and can be used to mount switches, controls, etc? What material do most people use as fascia now adays? I've heard Masonite, but i cant find any retailer that stocks masonite. Any other alternatives? I was thinking maybe thin plywood or wide pine boards, like 1x8, 1x10's and 1x12's (for various heights of the scenery) and then using a router to contour the top to the scenery. I'd rather use something alot thinner though, with the same stiffness, maybe like pegboard, but without the holes (is that masonite?). <br /> <br />I was thinking about going ahead and laying track first, get my buildings in position, and then do the fascia before I start working on the scenery, so I can build the scenery up to the fascia. <br /> <br />Whatcha think? <br /> <br />Jeremy
