QUOTE: Originally posted by chateauricher Very often the prototype railroad companies built sidings and yards slightly lower than the mainline (in order to prevent cars from rolling back onto and fouling the main). Some N-scale modelers use HO-scale roadbed under the mainlines and N-scale roadbed under sidings and in yards to create this illusion. Where the 2 sizes meet, they just sanded the edges down to create smooth transition. So, to answer your question : Yes, some N-scale modelers use HO scale roadbed.
I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
