I am at the point in my layout construction when I have to decide which scenery material is best suited for my layout. It's an HOn3 version of Malcolm Furlow's Hon3 as seen in MR books and magazine. I realize he used foam, but in the book he mentioned that he used this only becasue his layout was designed to be moveable. Mine is a permanent one taking up an extra bedroom. I am at the point in construction now where I am to build the mountains and I would like to know what is the material of use today. I'm sixty and have been a a procrastinator, collector and dreamer of the hobby for fifty years now and have finally decided to get my feet wet by building a layout. Old school dictates hard shell but extruded foam looks tempting too. Which is the easiest and best scenery material? Oh, if extruded foam is the best, don't you end up using a foam type plaster over the foam?
