Is it true that the old saying "Size Doesn't Matter", or does it? I'm starting to plan the expansion of my layout (of course, much before the current layout is "finished")... Mainly because where I work is throwing out lots of OSB, Plywood and stick lumber, which I am collecting and storing for future use... On a trip to Home Depot yesterday for a non-related item, I noticed that not only do they sell 2" thick foam, but they go all the way down to 1/4" foam. When I started the current phase of the layout, they didn't have anything other than 2" at this Home Depot, which was fine, b/c I needed 2" stuff anyway, as I wanted to be able to cut down into the foam for scenery purposes... But the stuff is $24 a sheet . The new expansion is going to be considerably larger/longer, so I don't have to go down, I have enough run to go up inclines, so I don't necessarily need 2" of foam, I could use less, and get away with saving a couple of bucks... Well, I guess not really saving a couple of bucks, who ever really saves any money in this hobby....Let me rephrase - keep a couple of bucks in my pocket for a few minutes.... I am thinking maybe 1" is going to be enough thickness. I am interested in others' thoughts on this.
