Ok, a new person to the group and hobby!! I'm sure its been covered but read past posts and need some guidance.
Working on an 8x10 layout (HO), built the table out of 1/2" plywood and quickly discovered that it is a challenge driving the track nails through the wood. So, a little research and figured I could use foam.
Went to my local HD and Lowes in Florida and found 1/2 foam board (white) purchased some spray paint and went to town! Did not think that the paint and foam board would react. Oh well, only cost $5.00! But the stuff is very brittle. Did a test and not satisifed with the stability of the track with the cork road bed glued down (using traditional track nails).
I read in here about using "blue or "pink" Owens/ Corning insulation. But unable to find. Does anyone have any other tips or products they used???
Thanks for the help! kw
