I purchased a 4 inch thick 4x8 slab of blue foam from a local insulation wholesaler in Houston. It cost my $40 but has been worth every cent. It's very light, extremely sturdy and very, very easy to work with. Depending on how low you want your scenery to extend below the track line, you can simply glue the slab to 1/2 inch plywood and this makes a very firm foundation. <br /> <br />I've had no problems with it and when I do my next layout, I won't hesitate a second to use thick blue foam again.
