Big Boy 4004, I understand the concerns about screwing into the ends of plywood. I feel comfortable giving it a try with pre-drilled holes. Didn't get to start the project last night, but it's going to happen today. David Barrow recommended this in his MR modular layout series for putting modules together. He said it's hard to find straight dimensional lumber (I've had the same issue) and recommends ripping 1x4's out of 3/4" thick plywood. The difference is he nails & glues them together, whereas I'll be pre-drilling, screwing and glueing. The guy is an architect and is way into layout construction, so I figure his methods are probably pretty good. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
