C.C. I think everyone is a bit concerned with your idea of laying the wire in covered grooves on the foam board. It's just not a great idea compared to the traditional method of running it under the layout. Why? For one, after you scenic your layout, how do you add more wires for more houses without tearing up the scenery? Plus, inevitably you will have a wiring problem. And it's not a matter of if, it's when. It's going to happen. With all your wire buried beneath scenery, how can you figure out what's wrong? And how can you fix it? Make it easy on yourself, run the wire under the layout and save yourself a lot of frustration later on. It's your layout, of course, but the voices of experience are telling you something.[:)] Mike Tennent
