I like to use split cork subroadbed and Atlas track nails; use them for securing the track too. That way if I have to take it back up, all I have todo is pull the nails out.
@@MAYNE_line Actually I learned the track nail thing for laying cork from an old Atlas model train book. That way there is no waiting for adhesives to cure and less mess if you need to take the cork and track, back up. With track held down with adhesives, you have to weight it down while it cures and you can't see if the track is crooked with the weights on it. If you use track nails, you can eyeball it and tweak it after nailing down. Nails can be pulled up with needle nose plyer's.
LESS IS MORE! Man, how are ripping things up from the foam roadbed so well? I only used white glue (mind you, I used ALOT) and when I ripped track up it all tore up. That curve looks so good. Can't wait to see more, but not less. Wiring will be fun. The AR1s did me well, but I just upgraded to the PM42 which seems to work good too. I have some spares AR1s if you want/need them for anything!
Haha fine actually, I only lay down enough glue to be tacky really, and it's fairly inconsistent, sometimes it'll rip up like there's no glue at all and sometimes it'll take a very small amount of foam with it. Mind you most of this foam roadbed has been used once or twice over the years, maybe even 3-4 times!!! Thanks dude, I've used this AR1 of mine on my old 90' Walters turntable and it was flawless. Hoping it still works just as good! I appreciate the offer, I'll let you know how things go 👌

That's a good idea! I'll have to do something similar moving forward, thanks for the tip!

Looks good getting some progress done 👍🏻 Keep it going and keep us posted
Thank you! Will do 😁
Not boring, agree don’t rip it up, looks fantastic, great job, more work , I am using a device from DCC specifically for reverse section
Haha thanks man! Gotcha, so basically does the same thing?
Yea man that looks good!!! Less is more and looks more prototypical.
Thank you!!! I'm trying 😅
