Jarrell, I think the stacked foam that gets cut with various knives and shaping tools sounds most viable to me. I've used Great Stuff for other things around the house, I dont think there is much advantage to it. I think that building up the contours of the ground the way you want them is most important here. You could do this with scrap foam, paper footballs or metal window screen material (I'm pretty old school). Once you have the contour any of the fillers described will work to smooth stuff out. I would stay away from stuff that doesn't dry at least semi water impervious (like dry wall mud). BTW: Your train room is waaaaay too clean. You might want to use plaster just to liven up the reparte between yourself and the missus....what do mean those are my footprints????....Just because they are white and coming from the train room...And there is the classic "Is that my good bowl?" By the way any bowl you choose, even if you go out and buy a new one she has never seen, will become the "good bowl". I have a fork that I have used to retrieve wood from my alcohol and ink jar for many years that is pitch black. Everytime my wife sees it she gets mad about the good fork that I ruined....
