    I am sad, but I am back again

    Ron, I know what you feel. My father died in my arms, loosing his fight against cancer a few months ago. I am still not over it yet complete, but I am glad he was not alone when he took off for his last trip to a better world. Paul

    Cork roadbed widness

    Thanks for the reply's, Mark the cork I received is N-scale 1" 1/8 wide, 1/8" thick. But with a tie width of approx 5/8" it looks overkill to me. I used to build a diorama and on that one I cut the cork from sheets myself just a bit broader the the tie width and this looks more prototypical...
