Alas, we didn't take any in progress pictures...really should have.... and it's all plastered over at this point. I think the woodland scenics webpage has some photos...they also have a good video that I'd recommend... it goes into the foam construction, the plastering, etc. It helped us out alot. As for roadbed, we're using Kato Unitrack, which has the roadbed, bllast, etc built-in, so it wasn't a topic for us. I did get a little piece of the black foamy roadbed that woodland scenics has to level out a weird spot I had inside a tunnel. I know there are also some good cork products... but I'll have to defer the roadbed question to someone else. Another poster mentioned a hot wire cutter. Get one of these. It's one of the best investments you can make if you are doing any foam work. AND, when you buy he wire cutter, buy an xtra hot wire... I've broken a couple, and it's lousy to have it happen at 11:00 at night. Not that I work for woodland scenics or are promoting them, but I purchased both their low temperature hot glu gun and thier hot wire cutter, and feel that they were both great investments.
