@toma123toma132 I put the big pieces in a plastic bag. I use a shop vac for the rest.

The green foam from your earlier videos looks like it shaves a lot easier than this pink stuff, if you know what I'm alluding to. Doesn't look like it leaves as much of a rough surface to me. Any particular reason you switched from the green to the pink foam?

[thebige61]

@ViperFace I read about using florist foam in N scale magazine and I wanted to try it. I also didn't need to get a 4 X 8 foot sheet of the ping stuff and the florist foam comes in smaller blocks.

[ViperFace]

@thebige61 Well, if that be the case, which style foam do you recommend? I plan on creating a 4' x 10' layout with varying scenery, so nothing too fancy.

[thebige61]

@ViperFace It all depends on how extensive your mountains are going to be. If your going to have a lot of mountains than the pink extruded foam would be the way to go. The florist foam is fine for small scenes but I've found it to be a bit pricier than extruded foam.

OK, so almost a year later, how much pink foam are you still finding all over the place? LOL
