Hadron   10 #3 Posted September 18, 2019 A long time ago I had a chip board base with a planed softwood frame underneath which worked well for pinning the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Skink   10 #4 Posted September 20, 2019 personally wouldnt use MDF, fumes indoors, bit soft, stability cf ply etc  Decent ply seems stable and robust - built my daughters out of all 9mm in a ribbed / boxed style construction (so it is light and mobile). For a fixed install would probably go 12mm ply deck, 6 or 9mm surround and planed softwood framing (probably all from Lavers)  FWIW just got 3 big rolls of cork off ebay for the undertrack, arrived yesterday, so busy prepping for new layout this weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
