I need to cut off about 3 inches of 1/4" plywood, against the grain, about 3/8 of an inch from the end of the board.  Would a diamond wheel on a Dremel rotary tool work or should I use a Dremel Saw-Max?

Time has come to install the roadbed. There are several commercial made products available for roadbed: cork, camper tape, homasote (440 sound board) being some of the major choices. Of course there are multiple manufactures for each type of roadbed.

My intent is not to start a debate on which product is better for XXX reason, YYY price or ZZZ application. Instead, I want to think a bit outside the box and get thoughts from everyone on a different option.

I am bringing home my mothers 10' by 11' "O" layout.  We have the 3/4" plywood table partially set up again.  She had foam roadbed right on top of the plywood.  I have scraped the plywood but there is still glue, bits of foam... This is 1940's Lionel and it is loud.  I would like to cut down on the noise level.  I am thinking to cover the whole table with glued down homasote and then worry about roadbed over the top.  Any thoughts?

I am going to be forced into a 2 level layout when I move. A lot of helix owners now regret the waste of space and some would prefer not to go from level to level at all. Suddenly lifting a train from the lower yard to the upper yard becomes attractive. All sorts of do it yourself ideas when I Googled this site. Then after spending hours of dreaming and thinking and drawing my lift mechanism was finished. It's been hiding behind my TV for 3 years. When I move I will put the TV on the wall and use the TV electric lift to move my trains up and down.
