I used a cheap easy fix for my roads available at any Wal-mart in 8.5 x 11 sheets. It is foam sheets with an adhesive back in black, whch can be found in the hobby/art section at Wal-mart for $.25 a piece! Cut into the shape/size you want, peel and stick! So easy and very nice looking. <br /> <br />Goods: <br />Cheap!!!!! Easy to find!!!!! <br />Quick <br />REALISTIC looking a it has the right profile for a road, especially when you bring the scenery up to and near it. <br />Looks like fresh blacktop <br />Can be painted and scribed to make concrete roads <br />Can be used to make crossings, ramps, and lots (did all of them) Make those curved rail crossings with ease! <br /> <br />Bads: <br />Every once and a while can peel up in a place or two -- hit it with some liquid nail and it is fixed. <br />Don't stretch the pieces -- make accurate cuts. Stretching it works temporarily, but it will shrink back to its original size after a while leaving unsightly gaps. <br /> <br />Try this..... I think you will like it and your budget will to! <br /> <br />
