What a Great Idea!!!!! HO 8 X 12 North Yard and South yard. <br /> <br />I have this thing about keeping all the track the same height so when I laid the cork roadbed, I continued it into the yards knowing it dosen't look realistic! <br /> <br />So when a couple of guys on here, mentioned that they buy the sheet cork and use it in there yards! Walla what a great idea!!!!!! <br /> <br />So I bought some today at Office Depot, Package of 4 12 x12 sheets. As it turns out, it is the same height as the standard cork road bed or as close as you want to get GREAT and easy to cut. SO I went to town and laid it all over the yard between the tracks. I guess you could say that I raised the yard to the level of the tracks and it looks much better!!!!! and more realistic. <br /> <br />Its not cheap but I think worth it! <br /> <br />DON (River Rat JunctionRR) <br /> <br />P>S> I am getting close on finishing another scratch built building, or I should say bldgs. The Sarasota Seafood Company. Hope to have some pics soon.
