I haven't started yet but have quite a large area available 20Mx20M at least. It will be a blank sheet although it's currently strewn with hazards such as walls, overgrowing plants etc. Anyway back to topic. I want (as does everyone) something flexible, durable, realistic easy to use and not too expensive. I have looked at lots of choices and was wondering whether there is experience of using Polyurethane foam sheets as you can buy for insulation.
It's not cheap here in France but it is impervious to insect damage (termites etc) easily cut and if covered with roofing felt would look fine and be a quiet ride. But perhaps attaching track might be more of a problem? I guess long fish hook pins (as used for underfloor heating) might work. Anyone gone this route or has a better suggestion?
Just a bit more on the thinking front. Basically planning single track lines with passing loops, perhaps two or more levels and set in Austria, Southern Germany most of the time but I do like American Mikados so scenery will be cuttings, plains and bridges that could be anywhere!
No sidings or shunting in view as I plan to run made up consists from a hidden yard (garage)!
