I am a total newbie to model railroading. My grandson and I are building a 4x8 HO layout. Our "benchwork" is 1/2 ply (appropriately framed) below 2" foam board (insulation) - so we can cut out a lake and/or creek or two. On recommendation of our LHS, we are using 1/2 O gauge cork roadbed and flex track. Also on their recommendation we are planning to use matt medium as the "glue" for both the roadbed and track (a variation on the vinyl caulk method). My question: what is the best way to hold the roadbed in place (on foam) on the curves while the "glue" is drying? I plan to use push pins for the track on the curves, but am not sure they are long enough to hold the cork bed, particularly in foam. Trying to be sure we lay our track right the first time. Thanks in advance. <br /> <br />John
