How wide do I make the plywood on a grade?

Make it as wide as you'll need for roadbed and any trackside scenery. Glue the cork to the plywood. <br /> <br />Both thicknesses wil be ok, with support every 12 to 16". There is almost no weight bearing on it and I assume you don't subject it to monsoon rains. If there is a sag, I think you will need scientific instruments to measure it. You probably will also be adding attaching scenery to it which will provide additional support. <br /> <br />Since there is hardly much more work or cost involved, place your supports as close as makes you feel secure. <br /> <br />Wayne
