Hi Charles; I couldn't agree more (with people working with different materials to build a layout). Jeff Ngowe appears to be interested in methods that require minimal carpentry. It happens that cutting the 1X3 or 1X4 supports needed for lightweight foam and ceiling tile construction would be reasonable, even with hand tools.
I also know and respect modelers who say the only reason they use 3/4 inch plywood for the layout is they can't get it 1 inch thick! There are some good points made; if the layout is going to be in a flood prone or very damp basement, or Jeff has allergies to the ceiling tile material, he needs to look at other construction methods. But I'd hate to have him think 2X4s and 3/4 plywood that you can walk on is the only thing that works! Pieter E.
