Would 1" foam over 5/8" ply compress with the weight of trains?

<p>A BLI PRR M1a w/o tender weighs 15 ounces, which equals roughly 425g in my metric world. Assuming an even weight distribution over the length of the loco, this would make a weight of about 61g per axle or a tad over 30g or a notch over an ounce per wheel.</p> <p>That´s not enough to let the loco sink into the foam or compress the foam.</p>
