    Small HO Layout Project Progress

    Yep, very small indeed, another point I forgot to mention was I want it to be transportable and be able to have a small train continuously running.

    Cutting foamboard & plywood tabletop. Separately or glued together?

    I glued the foam to my benchwork first (only the tabletop portion) and then used a sawzaw with a fine tooth metal blade and trimmed it using the edge of the table as a guide, makes a surprisingly nice cut and after all when it's said and done the foam edges will be covered by your trim or fascia.

    N Scale Freelance CSX Layout

    It's actually poster board painted "UP Dark Grey" along with some black weathering powders, it's pretty convincing. Once I get it striped and have parking carbs down it will look much better.
