I think that us "shelf guys" are often guilty of overdoing things. We build our brackets and benchwork to hold 100's of pounds, but it just isn't needed.
For shelving, 2" thick foam is probably sturdy enough all by itself. Now, the foam isn't conducive to mounting switch machines and such under the layout, so maybe some 1/4" plywood glued to the foam would work?
Still, I know that when I get back to the layout for the new building, it will be way overbuilt = expensive
