Best roadbed

I have used cork, WS foam and both AMI and RR&F instant roadbed. <br /> <br />I purchased a roll and some strips of WS foam and I noticed that the strips were wider at the base. I am not sure if it was something in the manufacturing process or this is really the difference between the two. <br />If someone else has experienced this, please let me know. <br /> <br />The AMI is easy to work with and you can depress it below the turnout so the rails won't stick. It is flat though, so there is no ballast slope, whereas the RR&F has one, also it came it black or gray. (I'm not even sure if anyone sells this stuff anymore). <br />If you do use either of these, be aware, EVERYTHING sticks to them, so ballast it as soon as possible. <br /> <br />I like the ease of working with Midwest cork and have never really experienced the drying out problem. <br />If you do go with cork DO NOT buy that garbage (first word starts with an M and the second word starts with a P), it is stiffer and it very ragged after splitting. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
