I just got through with my first run after laying out my track and pinning it to the foam. I used my wife's "straight pins" from her sewing table, worked great! The ride is a little bumpy and the engine doesn't pull a cars very well in certain spots, but I thought I'd do the "fine" tuning after I put my cork roadbed down. Which brings me to my question... I'm ready to pull up my track and glue down the roadbed. Is there a way to "soften up" the cork so that it goes around the curves a little better. My said to soak the cork in hot water, but I didn't like that idea. BTW, docb, are you going to use roadbed? This is my 1st "real" layout, I've read alot magazines and watched a couple of videos... I hope it helps. TIA scada
