I have a 4 x 8 foot area dedicated for trains. Nothing set up yet, but, I have a new piece of 4 x 8 ply wood waiting to be used. Do you all have any tips or hints at making it stronger and more level? Thanx again.

Hi,

I would just back up the plywood with 2x4s to make a sturdy frame. Make the legs of the table out of 4x4s. Shouldn't be too hard to make it level.

Good luck!

Hi,

Take a look at page 9 of this PDF:

That might give you some ideas for a sturdy frame.
