I got mine from Home Depot. Depending on the project, I have used gray, green and the brown. I like the brown best.

Thanks Steve!
A while back, I remember Allan Miller suggesting using carpet for a Tinplate layout that is so thin you can cut it with scissors -- marine carpeting if I recall correctly.
Has anyone tried this?
How did it work?
Well, I may go "Over The Top" with my initial wiring for my new Standard gauge Layout. Might be fun!
Interesting. At one time, homes were wired with cloth and camber insulated wire. More commonly called knob and tube wiring. Note that there were porcelain insulators and tubes/sleeves where the wire was routed through a framing member or attach to a ceiling joist. Weak point, over time, was the heat generated, from a light fixture, and the motion of plugging/unplugging a receptacle. Even some of the early cable assembly/romex type wire, still used cloth and camber insulation. Thermoplastic, and eventually higher heat resistant thermoplastic, are used today for wiring. The look is fine, if used over modern, ambient, 90 degree C, insulated copper wiring. IMO. Mike CT.
