Expert help needed! <br /> <br />I have been given permission by the local planning and zoning commission (my wife) to build a layout either using half our two car garage or our attic. This will be a BIG HO layout, modeling the Southern Railway circa 1955. <br /> <br />I've done the layout templating. I've bought books and consulted with the LHS dealer who is excited that I will single handedly put his kids through Harvard Law. <br /> <br />My question is this: <br /> <br />All the benchwork concerning the table top focusses on plywood 4 x 8 sheets. There's an add on in most of the books talking about "extruded insulation foam". This sounds like a neat idea... <br /> <br />What advice can you give me? Plywood... or foam? <br /> <br />Erik <br /> <br />
