As for foam under the tracks, I assume you mean the Woodland Scenics foam roadbed? <br /> <br />If so, that is what I used on the current layout. Works well and takes ballast nicely, but I did find that my heavy steam locos pound the curves (like the real thing) and loosen the track and ballast. Looking back, I would rather have used cork. I have no experience with the self-stick Ami Instant Roadbed. <br /> <br />My new layout will be using Kato Unitrack with the roadbed built in. With a little "weathering" it looks just as good or better than any ballast work I can do. It's really expensive, but for my heavy steam locos, seems to work much better.
