Thanks, Jim. I'm using it generally for the same reasons. I had a 4x8' piece which I thought would be perfect to cut down to my 28.5 x 68" size. I could buy (or find) 1-2 small pieces of the extruded foam to build up some hills on the layout. Eventually, I hope to wired up my points (turnouts) -- are there any heat concerns if I run wires through holes in the white foam?
