Laying Cork Roadbed
I am just about ready to start laying track and cork roadbed on sections of my main deck. Basically I will be using the standard 3/16” thick cork under all my mainlines surrounding the perimeter of the room.
I will have quite a number of turnouts on those mainlines leading off to secondary tracks feeding those mainlines. I want to use a lesser thickness cork on those feeder tracks,....in fact a sheet cork (available from Hobby Lobby) that is almost exactly half the thickness of the mainline cork.
I'm looking for advice about how to best handle these 'transition areas' where the cork roadbed makes a change in thickness. I've been worried about getting this correct for a long time. There was even a time when I considered not using any roadbed at all just to avoid this 'uneven' track base.
