Unless you have huge swings in moisture levels, there is nothing wrong with particle board other than it might not be as smooth as plywood. Depending on the board density, it may equal or exceed the strength of plywood. It certainly can be reliable and most definitely will be strong enough. The industry I work in uses particle board in situations where it is subjected to stresses far greater than that which a model railroad produces. <br /> <br />Wayne
