I don't know about where you are Jack, but up here, the tacky glue is about twice the price of the white glue. The white glue works on track and I use it on the scenery too.
Bob, I like that word "morphed". That would be a good name for a railroad like mine instead of the GAP. the East Morphed West(run everything) from the 40's to the 2020's.
I used 3M Heavy Duty double sided tape to affix my track to the foam layer and it holds solidly. This also allows me to do any future modifications to the layout without ruining the track -- I can pry it off with a butter knife.

Are you talking about the stuff that is like double sided foam? That is the only 3M heavy duty tape I know of. If so, that sounds like an interesting way of doing it. Might give that a try...
3M does make a clear double sided tape.
Hardcore computer case modders use it a LOT. Dubbed it the "Tape of the Gods"
Just saw your post. I looked up 3M double sided tape, and they must make about 100 different kinds! Which kind do you recommend? Maybe there is a number or something on the roll, or what color is the covering? Also, do you use the double sided tape as your roadbed instead of cork or something else?My layout has two elevations, the upper one being blue extruded foam that sits on top of the plywood baseboard.

I should mention that I'm using pre-ballasted Fleischmann ProfiTrack so there's quite a lot of surface area to affix the tape. Although it should also work on regular track if the tape is attached across several ties. And the tape won't be visible once ballasted over.
