OK the wood base went up this weekend for the staging yards on my layout. Now what to put on Homosote or foam for the track base. I have heard about both...
Jeff- I like Homasote but I know (dense) foam works well, too. Here are two places that had Homasote as recently as six months ago: Ganahl Lumber Company 1220...
I just love the 2" insulation foam (blue) on top of a 1/2" plywood base. I usually double up on it to a average depth of 4". Easy to cut and form as you...
