The board is 4" deep under the track, dropping to 2" for the quayside. The diagonal cross braces are 1" (I think - need to go and measure!) I was very pleasantly surprised with how much rigidity the cross bracing added, certainly in its original 5' 6" form the board went from being completely twistable to something where there was no discernable "flex" when lifted from one corner.
Since cutting it in half I've added the end joining plates and side sheeting, 6mm and 3mm ply respectively. No track laid yet but with repeated assembly/disassembly in preparation it seems to be holding together so far.
