Hi Doug,

I especially wanted thicker stuff so I can bury my Fleischmann switches and track diagram parts in it. |

Hi Poliss,
How thick does it need to be 
|
| poliss |
The switches etc. are about a quarter of an inch thick. I'd like to have them level with the control panel. So what I would do is screw the switches to some plywood and fill in the rest with the foam board. I'd like it to be in one piece because I'm fuusy about joint lines showing.

Would some 6mm MDF not be suitable Poliss as an option ? |

I'd like something that is very easily cut.
Here's what the switches look like. https://www.fleischmann.com/products/Fleischmann/6906.aspx |
