Dickiee: I see you are from N Michigan. Your construction people probably use styro in building houses, much thte same as here in Ontario. I found that if you approach the site foreman at a housing site in a proper manner, he will usually let you have their scraps for free. I got tons of it that way. It's usually thinner stuff but the beauty of it is that the foam can just be stacked and glued to make it 2" or more thick. I cut it with an old thin-bladed kitchen knife. My HO lay-out, the Abbinnagh, Wurke & Onnddagh Railroad (say it fast out loud) is a 9'x13' modified E shape. It is solely 2" foam on 1x3 L-girders spaced at 16". Piece of cake!
