Cork Road Bed – Laying Track
Darrell is busy working on his N scale layout and is requesting advice from anyone with experience laying track:
“I finally got the major ‘Honey Do’ list of items done and now I have some time to work on my train. I built my board yesterday and am now ready to start laying track.
On top of the board I glued a 1″ thick piece of foam (I am going to cut it out where the lake will be so it will be recessed from the main level). Now I need to attach to cork road bed and then the track. I do NOT want to glue the cork down nor the track. I am not adding scenery at this time but need to flexibility to do it later.
I also need the flexibility to adjust the track as I go. I know there are a lot of idea out there. I would like to have as many opinions as I can get before I start.”

Scenery & Layout Ideas
Drop your feeder wires down through the cork/foam and solder the feeder wires to the bottom of the rail where you have excessive movement. Once you get your wires down through the foam and cork road bed pull them snug and twist tie them under the layout, then attach all the wires to you buss line back to your power pack this should hold everything in place till you decide what to do latter Good Luck ~AlanC.
