Wow, that was boring!

[skittlesrozanski]

what kind of foam is that, i cant seem to find it anywhere on the internet?

[thebige61]

It's Owens Corning FOAMULAR® 250 Rigid Foam Insulation. you should be able to get it at any home improvement store like Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, etc. I hear though its harder to get if you live in a warmer climate.

It appears that there MUST be a better tool for what your doing, or why not just use a stanly knife ? I'm just starting to get my ideas together now so i know nothing more than you. My point was this seemed to take a while considering it's foam.. I expected it to be easier, though i think i may use the stuff in the cd for the subterranean train layout, looks easyer to get a good finish.

Sucky video compression. I compressed and uploaded these before Youtube allowed High quality videos. I recently uploaded higher quality videos.  you can get to them on my channel

That foam stuff looks really messy. Do you have to wear a mask to prevent inhaling it.

[thebige61]

No.

[MoJoTaylor37]

how do you know if your layout is going to connect correctly? you should make a video on how to lay track and the cork pieces under the track

[thebige61]

Hmmm...Other than laying cork roadbed in the main yard I'm pretty much done with that stage. I did take some pictures while I was building the mountain area. If you go to my YouTube profile page there is a link to my website. When you get to my site click on the "Construction Progress" link. When you get to the Construction Progress page, the links called "November 2003" and "January 2004" have pictures of how I built the sub roadbed and laid the cork roadbed. Hope this helps.
