Are any of you using this for your tubular track? If so, how do you like it?

I used the stuff for an O27 layout. Did a fair enough job for what I wanted. I did have to add 3r plastics ties underneath as the roadbed had a trough profile and not adding the ties would have left an odd void. The regular O profile looks very nice but be forewarned - it is all black. If you want anything a little more realistic looking a grey wash will have to be carefully added to the ballast portion of the roadbed. Why the stuff isn't molded in grey to begin with I have no idea. Also, the stuff isn't cheap, It costs more than the track itself.
