Rubber roadbed for tubular track

[Anonymous]

In preparation for my Christmas tree layout, I have given serious consideration to using Johnson's rubber roadbed under 027 profile tubular track. Has anyone had any reasonable sucess using this stuff? And, does anyone know of a cheaper supplier than ordering direct from the manufactuer?

I don't know about Johnson's roadbed but www.VINYLBED.com makes a good product that works and looks great.

Several years ago we used the 027 rubber roadbed with the Crayola Set, works fine. I've never seen it sold locally. The only downside is it looks a little odd - with the various tie shapes on 027 track, the track sits in the roadbed, vs. snapping in like the O gauge version. I have quite a bit of the O gauge roadbed on the layout, nice stuff, just wi***hey would have stuck with gray instead of making it all black.

Vinylbed is also a nice product, with added ties you'd get a much better look.
