@@TrainWorldTV I have been re-laying track and roadbed in some sections that I ripped out of my HO mountain railroad. These sections have been there over 20 years so it killed me to tear them out, but now it has opened up some nice possibilities with my track plan. I bought high quality 2' x 3' (1/4" thick) cork sheets about 15 years ago in bulk and I cut my own road bed. It took a while to be able to to cut the edge on a slope to simulate roadbed, (cut with a razor knife), but most times I can cut it pretty well. I think I paid way under $100 for 30 sheets which I still have about 20 sheets left. I am sure the prices have gone way up since I bought my cork sheets 15 years ago, but, I really like the quality of this cork. Have a good day James. Phil Jersey Shore Area

I alternate/overlap the end seams.

@ramonpfister2424 6 месяцев назад

Do you recommend nailing vs gluing? I've seen several videos where they glue down the roadbed vs nailing.

If I have foam insulation, can I lay track on that, or do you still suggest a cork roadbed?

@tommurphy4307 6 месяцев назад

foam sheeting available at craft stores- our N scale club doesn't even buy cork roadbed anymore.

@tomalcock620 Год назад

Why not use Wood glue to secure the cork roadbed?

@davedefrehn6257 2 года назад

Have you thought about using an electric brad nail gun to fasten down roadbed?

@ProspectorsGhost Год назад

I personnally don't like cork roadbed. as it will over time become hard and no longer have its softness and then will eventually become useless in being able to be bent or be shaped as is needed. I prefer foam roadbed. Also as far as I'm concerned, foam roadbed to me is easier bent and shaped and also has better sound deadening qualities over cork roadbed when the track is glued down to it. Just saying from experience. But as two of the old sayings go........ "To each his own" - and - "If it harm none, then do as thou will".

foam is so much easier to work with and it won't harden and fall apart like cork does.
