<p>Hello, I am new here, I recently joined as I am looking into returning to the hobby after many years of out model railroading. I have a question in reference to benchwork. I use to belong to a railroad museum in San Antonio, specifically, the HO railroad club portion in the early 90's. </p><p>Among many features they had on the layout, the one I liked alot is that they used HOMASOTE as a layer under the track and the base for scenery building, in lieu of corkbed. I am planning on possibly building my own layout in HO and would like to go the same route however, looking around at the typical vendors such as Lowes, Home Depot, etc I am not having any luck on locating HOMASOTE sheets. Is there a substitute I can look at that any of you may know of? i.e. styrofoam etc. I really want to avoid having my track Jacked up on corkbed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks... </p>
