I used Liquid nail.

That would be Liquid Nail for projects, as I recall; the version that's not solvent-based. The solvent-based stuff will eat foam.

Thank you, gents. I am using it to butt pieces of board together to use atop a small 3x4 layout extension. Liquid nails for projects seems to be the product.

It is what I use and it has always done just what is needed. I learned to put it on thin. Thick hardens to a tough rubbery plastic that makes the foam difficult to cut smoothly and evenly where I want to sculpt it.

Just finished a mountain project with high density Styrofoam. Used a lot of Liquid Nails, worked great.

All "Liquid Nails for Projects". Some in "caulking" tube sizes, and some the "toothpaste" size tubes to squeeze on smaller items.

Liquid Nail has served me well in my current and previous two layouts. Great stuff if you pick the right product. Loctite tube glue works well, too.
