Simple plywood, or a sectional layout?

Just plywood. But the garage, the only place for the layout, is a mess. (The rolleyes emote is broken) What is it about garages...

We as humans find garages a good place to store random crap in awkward spots.

We can barely walk through mine, and to think there's a 1969 Pontiac in there! Lucky my layout is in my room... Except to fumes. If I wish to paint, I have to open my door and crack the window; during winter. I love the cold, so I don't mind. Plus the cars sound nice passing by on the main street. (Along with a few Federal Qs roaring up on the fire trucks! ) I have this very bad liquid cement that barely attaches to anything, but I'll use it on soft plastics/fibers. After all, that crap is extremely flammable, extremely hazardous fumes, burn your eyes when you have the smell of it accidentally put into your face, and it isn't all that safe.

Hey, don't worry. Just buy a garage heater in the winter times! We have one, but it never got opened and had stuff on it now... Go figure.

Here's an overdue status report. Still no tabletop layout, but lately we've finally been sorting out the bloody garage, so I might have one by Xmas. Over the summer I acquired some more rolling stock and another engine. Also a really good station kit and a signal box kit. You're probably wondering what rolling stock and which engine, so here:
*2 more trucks
*1 brakevan
*2 composite coaches
*Emily
I got Emily's coaches as a present for Xmas last year, so that's taken care of. Incidentally, Emily was slightly damaged when I took her out of her package: The screw hole for her rear bogie was stripped! I didn't discover it until she'd shown a tendency to derail for some reason. So I had to do some gluing.
