It’s been years since I have used cork on a layout for roadbead, the first Playa Desnuda branch was as low buck as you could get, using a broken IKEA dresser and wood salvage from a pallet. This time around, I am using actual lumber and 2 inch thick foam. Today, I have been putting the road bed down and my biggest challenge was remembering that the tabletop was foam and not to cut on it! I have been putting the cork in the yard to remember and relearn the trick of working with Cork.
I have been using a paint pen, a four foot rule, razor blades, wood glue and railroad spikes to put it down. I have to admit that the crossover area has an odd bulge in it.
I plan to solder leads to each section of flex track, and I have asked a friend if he could print an .STL of track bumpers for the staging area, to avoid cars with suicidal tendencies…I am hoping to start filling the yard soon!
