I bet I read that same article and have tried the foam approach. However, there should be a warning on those articles. While using the material for landforms and the like has worked out fine, I strongly urge caution in usinf the material to place any track on. I followed the directions and used "Liquid Nails" and everything went fine . . . until I decided to change the track plan in the area. The road bead came loose from the foam readily, but would not seperater from the track. I checked with the company that makes the glue and tried mineral spirits as suggested. After soaking the track and leaving overnight, I was able to get some pieces seperated, but only a few. So, while I would agree that foam is a great material for scenery, traditional roadbed is still the best.
