Rob: Is the white foam the type with little plastic balls stuck together? I would avoid this except for packing. When you cut it, the little balls all pull apart and you can't get a smooth edge. (plus mess)
The pink or blue foam is what I use.*
You might want to get a hot-wire cutting tool. Woodland Scenics makes one that does for a certain distance. Be well ventilated. They also make a foam glue that works well.
Ask H D if they have any damaged or broken bits cheap. They can be used to build things up.
* the colour is different brands. I visited one layout where they made a hill of alternating colours.
