Don - Here's how to do it next time. -- Just mark the center line of the track, you might be able to use the holes in the ties for this if you get creative. Or draw it using straight edges, compasses, etc. -- Use the centerline marking to locate one half of the cork roadbed. Depending on the surface, a god way is to insert pins along the marking every inch or so, so that they are just next to one side of the marking. Then you can pu***he cork against the pins to locate it. Use straight pins, whatever you can easily get. -- Fasten down that half of the cork. -- After the first half is secure, glue dried, whatever, pull out the pins and use that half to locate the second half by pushing the second half against it. This has worked well for me. My problem is that I'm trying to figure out how to do the same thing with the Woodlands Scnec foam roadbed, which isn't split! You didn't mention what kind of track you were using. If it is sectional track, then you are probably OK. But if it is flexible track, I'd make sure that you didn't get the curve radii tighter than you wanted to, and that the curve are smooth.
