Thanks all.
RR, Many folks don't care for ballasting. I don't 'like' it, but it is a necessary evil. Ergo, On30. I'm not fond of using this foam road bed either. It makes for less noise, but ballast doesn't adhere to it like it does to cork. I used this foam, 'cuz it is all I had!
I'm going to show you and all what I think is the best way to use foam roadbed. First: add some Eileens or WS Foam Tack glue.
Spread with finger or flat edge.
Add your ballast, pat down and let dry for a couple of days.
I'll be back after the site redo next week and we'll see if this method works. Jim
