On my last layout I used two methods of building roads. One was to laydown thin pieces of bass wood and then use spackling compound to add shoulders.I would then paint them.However I could not get the exact look I was looking for and the color never really looked all that good. In other areas I would just spread out a thin layer of compound for parking lots and access roads. Again the same result. Not all that happy. <br />I have seen the ready made roads that Walthers sells but they look like that they will be too wide for my next layout which will be a small switching layout as before probably around 2'x6'. <br />Any ideas on how I can build roads and get the look that I am after? Any ideas and suggestion would be appreciated. I learned a lot from this forum and from building my last layout and would really like to avoid repeating some of the same mistakes. <br />Thanks again-Bob
