Thanks again, guys, for the replies. On the way home tonight I stopped at True Value and picked up a tube of the "Polyseamer" stuff Randy mentioned. I don't remember the name either, and I just bought it! ...and I'm too lazy to go back down the basement now and look at the tube. Luck was on my side - I got the last tube they had! Anyway, I just got done putting down about 10 two-foot pieces of the WS roadbed using the adhesive caulk. You guys were right - it IS pretty easy to do. I was surprised to find out I didn't need to tack down the roadbed. The caulk held it in place right on contact. As for ParkerLegend's comment about cutting the edges off the roadbed after the track is on it - I'm actually using N scale roadbed on an HO scale layout, so the effect is the same. The outside of the ties comes right to the edge of the roadbed. I assume the N scale roadbed is thinner too, which is more to my liking, since I'm not really after the "Class I Railroad" look here - I'm more into the shortline look. Well, actually what I'm "into" is narrow gauge, but that's another subject. Thanks again guys! John
