I'm in the process of laying roadbed and track on my medium sized layout modeled in the late 1800's era. I didn't want to use HO scale cork roadbed as I think the profile height is a bit too tall so what I'm doing is using N scale Midwest roadbed under the Microelectronics code 70 rail. To obtain a wider base, I'm inserting foam core board cut to the right depth. This gives me a 1 1/4 inch width atop the roadbed which just accommodates the 1 1/8 inch track ties. Has anyone here ever tried this? I really like the look of the code 70 track over the 1/8" thick N scale roadbed so far. I've Googled and forum searched this with no results. thanks.
