Thanks guys for the kind remarks and encouragement. This kind of feedback is encouraging especially in light of the raised eyebrows I get from some members of my family who find it strange that a grown man "plays with trains". <br /> On the question from Reed about Great Stuff foam, it expands and dries hard. I run a thin bead and then smooth it out with a putty knife before I lay track. If too much is put down, it will swell up between the ties. But it is easily removed with needle nose pliers after it hardens. This spray foam is not intended as an adhesive, but it is the best thing I have found for the purpose ( both foam to wood and track to foam). For those of you want to try it, I suggest you wear gloves. If you get it on your fingers, it will have to wear off. One last note that I am sure that many of you know: Blue/pink foam board has a thin poly film on both sides that you must remove before glueing. <br />Best to all, <br /> Bryant
