Regardless of what glue I use (probably either Liquid Nails or yellow wood glue for the foam and caulk for the roadbed) my biggest challenge will be drying time. <br /> <br />My brother, an experience RR hobbiest, will be visiting me for 4 days to help me build my first real layout. Not being the types to do things the easy way, we designed an 8' x 12' U shape layout with about 150 feet of track. Our goal is to have trains running on three seperate loops before he leaves. We're looking at some late nights. <br /> <br />Kind of like the show "Extreme Make Over" but for N Scale layout building. <br /> <br />Other than the benchwork and the first 2" of foam, everything else will be built as we go. As we construct cuts and fills, and lay roadbed and track, I need some assurances things won't shift while the glue dries. There will be several areas with 2'x3' sections of 1" foam and other areas with stacks of 1" layers. <br /> <br />I planed to use pins and weights to hold things in place. Any better ideas? <br /> <br />
