I am building a mid size multi level self HO railroad and using 1/2 plywood for my roadbed.
The risers are 1 x 3 " and will be screwed into the cross members of my base. The cross members are spaced about 15" apart
Can I wood glue the top of riser to the bottom of the roadbed as a butt joint ? A rap with a hammer or just bending it should break it off if for some reason I have to move it ?
OR would you recommend I make and attach cleats ( time consuming to cut and make) and screw into the plywood and to the riser?
The difficulty is screwing up into the plywood .. Also I will NOT be using any turnout motors under the roadbed but will be using hand throws.
Thank you,
David Miller
