This may be "rude" on a Model Railroader forum, but the most recent issue of Model Railroad Craftsman has a very interesting article about using 1/4" plywood for a stable, lightweight, movable (though not portable) layout. <br /> <br />I plan to use 1/4" plywood on my next (shelf type) layout, as both base and sidewalls. The structure is the thing. A flat sheet with vertical supports will ALWAYS sag a little between the supports, no matter the climate or humidity. It's just whether the amount of sag is objectionable, or if the supports are close enough together, even visible. But it's there for sure!!! <br /> <br />-Steve
