[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by kentsoftware.com I use Woodlands foam roll trackbed, and I'm VERY happy with it! Very easy to use and install. 25 foot roll cost about $8 Canadian. So it's cheap too:) A lot less theb cork.[/quote] Sure the Woodland's Scenics underlay is fine stuff - but Scotty here is talking about the Peco stuff which isn't any good at all - it really is foam and is truly dreadful. Oh and the Woodland Scenics stuff may be cheaper than cork in Canada but it sure isn't in the UK - so cork it is! I'd also second that thought about sealing Homasote if there's even a hint of humidity anywhere near the layout, otherwise you could be in for some very interesting bumps. Personally I just lay 1/8in cork onto 1/2in ply road bed it works a treat, unless you really want to hand lay track with spikes - which is where the Homasote comes in.
