One big advantage is the weight of the product. You can build a "scene " on a work bench, table etc. then pick it up and place it into its position on the layout. If it needs further work the project can be lifted back to a more convenient location to work on up close and at a better work height. Once complete the module can be glued or screw in place permanently. There are pictures in one of the threads here of just this type of construction and re working a portion of the road bed/hillside that would have been in an unreachable corner of the lay out. The flip side is discussed in a current thread about plaster on plywood in this forum or the "General Discussion" area. Cost seems to be the biggest draw back in using foam. <br />Will <br />
