Hi all, I am trying to lay roadbed on my layout and have a question for you all. Can someone take some pictures of how you laid the roadbed for your sidings? I saw that Midwest Cork has a new product out for sidings, but haven't seen it in any stores yet. Thanks for any suggestions and help you can give.
Incase you guys need some details, I have included some pictures of the area I am working on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Matt: My idea on this is to make the siding lower than the mainline. For N scale, I use cork for the main and put the siding track directly on the foam I use for a base. If HO, you can probably get some cork of different heights for both. I taper from high to low using foam shims that are easily sanded to make an incline. Nice pine paneling in the den!!
Flash, Thanks for the advice, I'll see what I can do. Would you recommed that I put my yard and everything right on the table too? I don't know if you've looked at my gallery, but I have other pics of the layout room, which is the basement. The control panel will be built this summer and there will be a sliding, boxcar-type door covering the opening http://www.railimages.com/gallery/mattmillican
UP_Challenger: To give your layout some depth of field and increase the scenicking possibilities, you might want to consider raising the grades on your yard and sidings. I have done this with my layout and it provided me with interesting levels to scenic.. Just a thought for you to consider.
