Well here goes. I have recently started to expand my layout. I decided to use foam for the bench work. first I built the support frame from 1X4 pine, making sure everything stayed square. Next I layed in tha foam. worked great. I used a constuction adhesive PL3000 which works well with foam. Next came the road bed for the track. Again gllued with PL3000. Next I layed the track . I glued it with white glue. It all worked well. The only problem I have found is that in the radiused corners it tends to get quite loud when the train runs through. Much louder than where I have plywood base. Other wise simple to work with and forgiving if a mistake is made.
