There is a comercial product - AMI roadbed _ that will stick down and then you pu***he track down into it. I'm using glazing tape to do the same thing on an N scale layout. The glazing tape is high enough for HO also. Home Depo has it. Be careful because once the track is down it is not going to move. The ballast is sprinkled over it and pressed down (no gluing needed). I am finishing the basic scienery before I put down track to keep ground foam out of the glazing tape. I also cut styrofoam covers for under my switches to keep any of the product out of the moveing switch parts. <br />I have also glued track to foam - it works ok and remember the foam does not expand or contract. I laid down normal cork road bed using a latex contact cement and glued the track on with white glue. A few pins helped to hold it in place - after the balast was in (dilute matte medium to glue it) the track stayed in place well. I store those peices in my garrage ( 90+ in summer and - 40 in winter) the track is still in place.
