- Hey youtubers, this is a quick and dirty demonstration on how i do my streets and roads on my layout using Ron Pare"s foam core board method. Its a very simple way to get outstanding results. Also a shout out to Kevin Smith and this Ho Scale Model Trains & Colorado Joint Line Layout. Check out Kevin's channel for great how to's and a Grade A number one layout.

Just finished your weathering tips video and this one. Thanks for the great tips, you and Ron have made the decision for me to make my roads out of foam board. Great work and layout. Keep it up.
Thanks peter let me know how it works for you
It was a very helpful video to watch/listen to. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽👍🏽🚂😁 ps-DJ sent me
What a great and helpful how to video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you sir !
Many thanks to you and Ron Pare! This technique was just what I needed for my transition era small town area. These are the best asphalt roads I have every done.
Good deal ! Glad you like the process !
Once again, another comment, watched this one also a couple of times now! Really enjoying your How-To video's and hope the feedback has inspired more of them, many more I hope. This was a great how-to, where these idea's on different techniques are all over the place, you seem to have a knack for sharing where your inspiration came from! :) The roads and streets on a layout are a very important part of bringing out that realism, I totally agree with you on this. This would be a great clinic to have for the modelers! Geno, Awesome, always awesome how-to's. Thanks!
thanks mike. its very simple and easy, and would be a great thing for someone who is just getting started with a layout or building some of their own stuff and get very good results. a great confidence builder
That's a keeper, Geno. Into the "Favorites" folder she goes for future reference! - Paul

Great how to video. Thank you.
Great video Gno. I was looking around for road vid how to’s and found your vid. I liked and subbed. Funny thing is that I honestly thought I was already subbed to your channel. Oh well I am now. Thx for sharing buddy. David
Geno now thats a great and easy how too great job cheers Robert
thanks Robert!
I use the foam board for retaining walls and sidewalks. I was also going to use it for my back drop. I use fine ballast to make my roads. Its a bit of work but looks good. Thanks for sharing. Your roads look great.

Thank you !
Great 'how to' Gknos - thanks for sharing!
thank you!
Thank you so very much for this video. I am just starting out and roads, both street and dirt/field, have been driving me nuts. I've been working on dioramas with joint compound and water putty. Sand sand sand....I like the texture of the water putty but it is so hard to work with. I am going to do this technique today. Thanks so much! And yes, I subscribed ;-)
thank you!! let me know how this works out for you
What a great 'how to' Geno! I hear Christmas music in the background...are you getting into the spirit? LOL
lol thanks D! HO HO HO!
Very helpful!!!!
good deal!
Go One my friend, many thanks for the info..
thank you
hey Geno.... that was a great "how to" vid... if you where doing a concrete road would you use more white than black?? can you use this method on styrene? ANY HOW... thanks for sharing
vinny
Hey thanks vin, the fade wash will work on styrene but I would spray your base color on, I use the camo kakhi for concrete, if you brush the base on, on styrene it tends to streak. and yes for your wash i would use more white. make a light grayish color.
Gknos modeltrains thanks for the info Geno
vinny
bnsf6951 nice
Looks so good I gave it a try! It works better than other methods I have tried and looks great so far. Any recommendations for gluing to foam surface? Any problems with warping or not staying down?
Amazing how to video Geno! your explanation is straight forward and to the point. What do you use to glue it down and have you had any issues with warping? Thanks a lot for sharing. RT
Thanks! i use the gorilla wood glue, and i have not had any problems with any warpage
what is the thickness of your foamboard?
Just recently stumbled onto your channel. Glad I did! Great video, do you use the foam board for all for main roads? And so you then use styrene for sidewalks or more foam board?
Genius
Hi, my dad and I found your video and thought it would be a great technique to use on a parking lot we're trying to install on our own layout. However, we don't know what brand of foam core to get - we got a 8 x 11 sheet at Office Depot, but it was too thick and the paper backing on the front wouldn't come off cleanly like yours did. What brand of foam core board do you use and where would we be able to find some? Thanks!

Hey man did you make a video on how you put the foam core board on the track for street running?
Great video, enjoyed and learned from it, but I have a question about how you installed a track down the middle of the city road using the foam....
thanks! i used walthers street inserts for the track and butted the foam up against the inserts and stained both with a acrylic gray paint and alcohol wash
Ah, thanks.....
That looks great, I think I'm gonna replace my hydrocal roads with that since I never much cared for the look of my hydrocal roads anyway. Just curious, what do you do for the street-running sections of your layout? I would imagine that the foam is too tall to sit in between the rails.
Thanks! I use walthers street inserts for the street trackage
This is a great technique...I just found your video and subscribed. Is that acrylic paint you are using? I m hoping that is the good old Walmart type paint. I appreciate your work.
+Dan Kavanaugh welcome aboard! yes sir good ole walmart special.
Great video, where did you get the foam core board?
You should be able to get it at most of the big arts & craft stores (Michael's, A.C. Moore, Hobby Lobby, etc.)
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE SEAMS WHERE THE PCS MEET ?
Hey Geno...this is cool! I'm guessing you do the same to get it around you track? It's cool to see someone else using foam core! I used it for my roads, my bridge and foundations for my buildings. See my last 2 Vlogs (#9 and #10)!
Ray Boebel thanks ray, i used walthers street inserts for the track
Gknos modeltrains That wouldnt have been an option on my trolly line....curves are to sharp.
Does the Chrristmas music help do a better job?
