[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Ray Marinaccio I used 2" foam on a grid benchwork for the HO layout I'm in the process of building. I glued 1/16" cork gasket material cut to size to the foam with Elmer's carpender glue and pushed track nails coated with glue through the cork into the foam. After the track was in place I cut the roadbed contour with a home made hotwire tool. About 12 posts down in this link you can see the tool and the results of the process. http://www.the-gauge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7241 This is the first Layout of many that I didn't use a plywood subroadbed and I am impressed with how easy it is to use. The next link has a photo of the layout (not finished yet) as well as some other projects. http://www.the-gauge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6370 As for mounting switch machines under the table, I just glued a small peice of 1/4" panneling (2"x3")to the bottom side of the foam where needed. [/quote] Ray--nice photos! You mentioned your were using two-inch thick foam board for subroadbed. Is it holding up well under the weight of scenery, tracks and moving trains? I was very impressed.
