I hope I can phrase this into an intelligent question... I am still batting around just how to build my first (as an adult) layout. The latest track plan I have is for an N scale 4X8 with a mainline running around the parameter with a "branch line" circling just inside that with 5 or 6 sidings coming off of the branch. I want to use a foam base and slice it along the the track and flex it into slight grades to simulate the rolling Ohio countryside. If my math is right I can get the elevations I want with only a 2% grade my concern is will the foam flex or will it shatter into pieces when I start pushing into the contour I want? <br /> <br />It has been almost 30 years since I worked with any foam, that was insulation in referigerated semi-trailers, very strong stuff but it did not like to bend.
