Hi I'm now going thru the process of building bench work and laying track. I'm usinf 1/2 inch MDF board, recommended by local lumber yard, it is much firmer than plywood and less prone to bending and warping. It also accepts Atlas track nails very well. For bench work I used the L-girder recommended in MRR magazine along with their material specs. For roadbed I'm using cork attached to the MDF board with Latex caulk, much easier to take up than glue when you make a goof, and I have had two so far. Good luck. Test runs have indicated minor problems but nothing like you have mentrioned. Good luck. Don Indpls
