Roadbed: Cork or Foam Roll?

This is my second layout in 30 years and this time I used the Woodland Foam roadbed, It was much eaiser to lay than the cork. If you make a mistake, it is very easy to remove with a putty knife. One thing I have noticed is that you don't want to get too close with a soldering iron as it will melt. I use a low voltage iron to solder power wires to the rail. In the yard areas, I did not buy the WS mats as they were expensive. If you have a Wally World (Wal Mart) nearby, you can purchase squares of this foam for .39 eacb. You can also find it in craft stores such as Michales. <br />
