If anybody is interested in any custom MDF / plywood baseboards - I'm happy to offer out to help design something up for you.
Pictured, custom 60deg sections to join to Scale Model Scenery boards, to go from an end to end, to a 'roundy-round'
They look really good! What diameter are they?
For me the main issue with this type oof baseboard construction is that it is not at all easy to make any features bellow track level, like ditches, ponds, rivers etc. It can give the layouts a rather 'fdlat earth' loook to them.
I trust you mean any and every 'frame and top' type construction and not just laser cut modules?

Yes. As you say it is not just laser cuting, it is all flat baseboards that have this issue!
A laser cut track bed on a framework would be ideal.
However, that would require pre-planning of the track layout and would be different for every layout.

B.Meldon, I'd be more than happy to design up some boards, that have a bit more "texture" (I'll say it that way, haha) to them, so that could be passing over a canal, or river etc.
