Jeff --
Bill Lane is correct. Never, EVER, use any kind of fiberboard without a
subbase. In particular, while Homasote has many desirable properties, it is
basically a paper product. Over time, it will sag between supports, even if
pre-sealed. Best advice I can give you is to cover your benchwork with 5/8"
(or
thicker) plywood, then glue and screw your Homasote atop that.
As for terrain, I recommend that all of your surface remain flat. You have
room
for very little scenic features except for structures that you typically find
close to the railroad, e.g., interlocking tower, yard office, handcar shed,
loading dock.
