You don't say anything about what kind of train, etc. Model Railroader has done several articles about 4' x 8' layouts and several of them used insulation foam (use the blue or pink stuff - NOT the white) instead of plywood. The 2 x 6 is probably overkill but they were free so just don't expect to move it around easily. One idea would be to make a couple of saw horses out of the 2 x 6 and use them to support a foam based layout.
