It's pretty much up to your preference. It would depend on whether you want to landscape down into the tabletop, and kind of track you have. And why are you shouting at us?
SHOUTING ?? LOL I DONT REALLY DIG DOWN SO MAYBE THE FOAM THE TRACK IS mth
He’s winking at you Roy about the shouting... When you type in all capital letters it’s considered shouting in most forums. And, you bolded your text on top of it!!
The horror of it all. All’s good.
I think the majority on here would recommend the homosote under the track. I would paint the foam earth color before putting anything on top of it.
Did not know about capital letters is shouting lol im not a computer person thats what i think ill do thank you john
Rather than go to the trouble of finding Homosote, then cutting it to the shape of all the tracks on your layout, why not simply purchase ready-made road-bed? Personally, I preferred, and used, the Vinyl road-bed from Hobby Innovations (Flexxbed, as I recall), as it came in 2 thickness (3/8" for main lines and 1/4" for sidings & yard tracks). There are also cork type road-beds which is also very easy to work with, just like the Vinyl product, i.e. simply glue the stuff down, and lay your track on top.
