I've used precut homasote roadbed in the past with good results. I'm currently working on a new layout, and plan to use 'homabed' from Cal-Roadbed. They offer precut lengths in either straight sections or curved, in a variety of thicknesses (for branchline or mainline service) and also two different angles of edge bevel (45* industry standard, or 60* which looks more prototypical) and they also have precut switch pads for all the major manufacturers of switches. You can purchase the homabed in packages of all straight, all curved, 50/50 mixed, in boxes of either 8' total length, or 48' total length. Most of the 48' packages range in price from $39-$60 depending on what options you want (branchline with 60* bevel for instance). <br /> <br />I plan to lay the homabed directly to the plywood tops of my layout, like I've done before. It also offers very good sound deadening, much like cork. <br /> <br />Just my $0.02
