[quote user="lvanhen"]One comment that you didn't ask about - the plywood base.  I work at Home Depot and your plywood looks like the cheap pine ca ca we (and Lowes) sells.  Buy some Fir plywood, 1/2" or 3/4", and you'll save a lot of future problems.  Plywood for a base should lay flat without any twist or warp, not twisted the way the edge or your photo shows.  No matter what you do for sceneery or track-work, a poor base will be nothing but problems in the future![:)][/quote] well this is a bummer... i asked around a cpl places and was told this wood would be fine...now i got to buy new? its 1/2  ...  actually this is the bottom board of my layout.....since there is stuff being stored underneath and i still have to wire my layout...i didnt want wires  having a chance of getting caught on anything..so i am putting 3/4 plywood on top with a gap of around 2-3 inches for my wires...to rest under that but ontop of the cheap plywood..... but hey thanks for noticing that...
