well at lleast ive decided i want to use foam on the pending N scale layout thats running around in my brain . <br /> <br />i know of 3 types of foam . the pink the blue and the good old white styro <br />i once heard there are even 2 types of white . one breaks with little roundish edges and he other will fracture more cleanly straight. come to think of it there is also a browni***an they pack electronics in. it will make some very good looking rocks as i have done it years back. might not even still be available as when it burns it makes cyanide gas. may be banned nowadays <br />i dont know <br /> <br /> <br />i dont know the properties of the other two- the pink and blue either or prices <br /> <br />i also know all foams share two things they dont do well with any petro or solvents. and with a hot knife they are easy to cut. <br /> <br />what do you folks run foam wise and what would you suggest for N scale trains. thanks much , john
