I have just installed some streets & roads using scrap pieces of linoleum. First I will get the dimentions that I need and measure it out on the back of the linoleum. If you are not sure how it will fit just set a larger piece over the area that you want to cover and then put your structures on top and mark the edges. When I paint the back of the linoleum I spray paint it with a dark gray and then a light over spray of a tan or earth color. I used yellow & white pinstrip tape for cars cut down the middle for the lines on streets and roads (you could mask and paint with your air brush). The thickness is just right to fit between rails as well as being very plyable to follow contours. Try it as it is not messy either.
