Josh, Since your track is already laid, I would still look at the 1/4" foam to avoid having all your roadbed at the bottom of deep foam trenches. Use it sparingly along the track and use thicker foam to build up other areas. An alternate: I've been mixing my own two-part Polyurethane foam, pouring it on (free) bubble wrap & reinforcing with (free) recycled fiberglass screening. The result is a sheet about a quarter inch thick. Detailed info for this method is at http://www.bragdonent.com though I buy the actual foam material for half the price elsewhere. (Sorry, Bragdon.) I feather the edges with Liquid Nails One-Step Spackling. It's super light, which is why I use this more costly product. I also use it for sculpting the foam rock cuts. Wayne
