You might want to try brushing the foam with lacquer thinner. You can vary the depth of your trackside ditches by applying a number of coats of lacquer thinnner. You can caused track ditches to look a little uneven if you want. <br /> <br />Alternatively, you can purchase a length of Woodland Scenics ni-chrome wire from your local LHS for $1.98 and make a simple double-V hotwire with an old power pack and popsicle sticks. Cut a pair of guide notches in the sticks so that they can be pulled along the track. This method make smooth, uniform, ditches that follow the track exactly. <br /> <br />My local hobby shop guy taught me these tricks. I'm sure gonna miss his advice when all of the LHS's go close their doors.
