I am planning a very small layout that can eventually be packed for several overseas moves. I need some solution that will allow the layout to be stable and strong, but still be able to come apart once or twice a year. My current strategy is to build a 2.5 x 5 foot layout in two sections (each 2.5 x 2.5 feet), so they can be stacked and packed.
My question is: is there any way to use cardboard to build a strong baseboard? If I layered corrugated cardboard at 90 degree angles, stacking them to 3/4" or 1" thick and fixing each layer with wood glue, would this provide a stable base? I can have the layout sit on a flat, stable wooden table normally, so it would have support from beneath during operation. I'm just concerned that no matter how much I glue the layers, it may sill bend when I apply the track and plaster ground cover to the top.
By the way, the layout I'm looking at is the first one on this page, with some alterations.
Thanks!
