Would someone in the model railway world tell whether 12 mm plywood is any good for a baseboard? Some books say it is ok others say it is not as its too hard for the track tacks to go into. Any info would be appreciated ASAP as I have just bought 4 sheets of 12mm ply on an online auction, so its a bit late in asking!! Thanks.
@TheGazzernator - Why not try hammering track tacks into it, then use the other side when you start building? If it is too hard, try pre-drilling the holes at least part way.
@pokemaster2331 - Rollingstock (one word) usually means anything that isn't a locomotive, i.e. carriages and wagons (or passenger cars and freight cars, if you come from the USA).
Like the scrapyard on the top level I've got something similar planned for my layout somewhere to put the locos that don't run very well

@killerforlife100 - mate, we can't all have basements and attics to build huge model railway empires in - some of us can only scrounge a spare room.

@UrbanCrawlersClub Hi - it's many, many bags of Hornby ballast (about £100 worth) but the effect is pretty good.

Hello, it's surprising how little you can do this for if you shop around, most of it is second hand and picked up here and there.
