Has anyone had any experience with using the Woodland "track-bed" material yet?
Was wanting some real user experience before deciding between that and cork bed.
Thanks

Granted I'm not much of a 3-rail "scale" guy but I've tried the Woodland Scenics stuff and didn't like it. It is foam and I found it to be a bit "squishy" and easily compressed under the weight of O gauge engines. It may be fine for HO but I found it too soft for use with O gauge and my track sunk as the train went over it and rose back up when it passed by.

Thanks for the heads-up.
What does happen when it's painted?

I used it on my layout and have had no issues. It is much easier to work with than cork.
