<p>Don,</p><p><em>Do you feel strongly that should scrap homasote in favor of 1" foam with cork roadbed?</em></p><p>No. Since your modules will be fixed in place you do not have the same issues as a layout that must be light enough to be picked-up frequently and stored.</p><p>I have Homasote on part of my layout and Homabed over foam on the rest. This is the first time I have used foam and actually I wish I had not - for the flat areas anyway. I have found out that foam dents easily. At my age I need a little support as I bend over to work on the rear of my layout (and my width is only 24 inches). </p><p>If you put the heel of your hand directly down on the foam and apply even a little weight you leave a dent. I now use a scrap of masonite where I need to put my hand. This spreads out the weight and reduces denting.</p><p>Good luck,<br />-John</p>
