I don't use cork roadbed in yards or sidings. All my track is code 100 flex which is either caulked or spiked down. I have found building yards on 1x12" boards on the bench is quite easy and yeilds 5 tracks per board and this leaves enough room for fingers between tracks. Ballast is glued to the boards which have been prepainted earth brown. The best way to learn how to put track down and ballast is to go get an 8' length of 1x3 and try all the various methodes.
