I guess I don't quite understand? If it is covered why does it look more realitic?rough days said:i prefer to use cork because it looks more realistic when covered in ballast
I just finished laying down over 50 feet of the Woodland Scenics roadbed. It went super quick, used caulking for the adhesive. I liked the fact I did not have to nail the cork. I have plywood for the sub roadbed. Hard to get a nail in the ply. Guess I could have glued the cork down, but I wanted to try something new. Time will tell as I have not got the ballast down yet.mummert said:When putting down your road bed do you prefer cork or foam and why?
There have been several ideas on how to glue the foam. This works real good, IMOP.mummert said:Woodone I like the idea of caulk for glue. It would give me plenty of time to make sure everything is straight before it dries. Thanks to everyone for the 411
If you use the caulk for holding the track you will not have this problem.trainnut65 said:I guess i am just picky i like the old cork better. It seems to lay better and give more support under the track to me. The Foam when i tack down the track it gives and lets the track sag where the spike is.
