I just can't afford that price these days ( probably higher now ) and I couldn't salvage the old material to reuse . Cork , in rolls , is pretty cheap ....I'll cut it and glue down the track . It'll have to do since it's all I can afford . Probably will generate more noise this time around , too , but ear plugs are cheap !T
A. I get Homasote in 2' X 4' sheets at Menards, and cut the roadbed strips from the sheet.
B. I'm not building a large layout ( although the old modules occupy 12' X 4'-8 1/2" of floor space, and the new modules
12' X 3' - 4" )
C. And ----- I haven't purchased any recently -----

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
