Ok, here's a stumbler - I think. <br /> <br />I just got back into the hobby after a rather long vacation; now the question - <br /> <br />Layout frame work is 1x4 wood frame on 16" centers, I prefer hand laid track & switches ( HO Scale code 83 rail ). Seeing I don't really like the preformed road bed and have been used to using cork but it is hard to find around here - what would you use as a subroadbed & roadbed. I think that I should let you know that Homasote isn't available here even at the newly opened Home Depot. <br /> <br />I was thinking of using 1" foam, then using 1/8" paneling ( just about the same as luan ), which also isn't available around here, and then maybe drive 300KM oneway to get some 1/8"cork or would this even be necessary. <br /> <br />Your comments would be greatly appreciated. <br /> <br />JR
