Lay down a fast, quiet foundation for your HO scale layout with WalthersTrack Single-Track Foam Roadbed. This 5-pack of 36" sections gives you 15 feet of pre-formed, dense closed-cell foam that drops your noise floor versus running track straight on plywood, while staying cleaner and faster to install than traditional cork. The smooth, beveled profile matches standard HO cork roadbed dimensions, so it works seamlessly alongside existing layouts that already use cork. Looking for more HO track and roadbed? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Track & Accessories. What's Included Item Qty 36" Single-Track Foam Roadbed Section 5 Total Length 15 feet Features Closed-cell foam for noise reduction and clean install 3/16" thick — matches standard HO cork roadbed dimensions 1-1/2" wide at top, 1-7/8" wide at base — beveled shoulders ready for ballast Smooth surface — no extra sanding required Easy to cut or split with a hobby/utility knife to fit curves and turnouts Works with track nailed or glued; finish with foam-safe paint, ballast, and adhesive Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand WalthersTrack Item Number 948-9000 Scale HO (1:87) Product Type Foam Roadbed (Single-Track) Section Length 36" (each) Profile 3/16" thick · 1-1/2" top · 1-7/8" base Pack Quantity 5 sections (15 ft total) Condition New UPC 616374219520 FAQ Will this work alongside cork roadbed I already have?Yes. The profile matches common HO cork roadbed (3/16" thick, beveled shoulders), so you can transition between the two on the same layout without a step or visible mismatch. How is the track attached — glue or nails?Both work. Most builders glue with foam-safe adhesive (latex caulk is a popular choice) for the quietest install, but track nails will hold in the foam if you prefer mechanical fastening. Can I cut it for curves and turnouts?Yes. A standard hobby or utility knife splits or trims it cleanly. Many builders split each section lengthwise down the center to follow tighter curves. Is this for double-track or single-track?Single-track. For two parallel tracks at the standard 2" center spacing, use Walthers 948-9010 Double-Track Roadbed instead.

Walthers 948-10001 is a 5-pack of Code 100 nickel silver flex track with wood ties — each section measures 36" (91.4cm) long, giving you 15 feet of mainline-quality track in one package. The flexible rail bends easily into smooth curves and straights, letting you build custom layouts without splicing dozens of fixed sections together. Code 100 is the most popular HO standard, especially forgiving of older locomotives with deeper flanges and a great fit for first-time layout builders. Looking for more HO track and accessories? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Track & Accessories. Features Five 36" (91.4cm) sections of Code 100 flex track per package — 15 feet of track total Wood-tie appearance with realistic dark brown molding and enhanced wood grain detail Fine-profile spike and tie plate detail molded onto every tie Custom-formulated nickel silver rail for excellent electrical conductivity and easy soldering Spike-mounting holes positioned next to the rail for prototypical track nail placement Molded starter points on the underside of the ties for quick fastening to roadbed Compatible with virtually every HO locomotive, including older models with deep wheel flanges Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand Walthers Track Item Number 948-10001 Scale HO (1:87) Product Type Flex Track (5-Pack) Track System Code 100 Nickel Silver, Wood Ties Section Length 36" (91.4cm) each Condition New UPC 616374155002 FAQ What's the difference between Code 100 and Code 83?Rail height. Code 100 rail is 0.100" tall; Code 83 is 0.083" tall and looks more like prototype mainline rail. Code 100 is more forgiving of older equipment with deep wheel flanges and is generally less expensive — a great choice for first layouts. Can I connect this to other Code 100 brands like Atlas or Bachmann?Yes. Standard HO Code 100 rail joiners fit Walthers, Atlas, Bachmann, and most other Code 100 brands. Use transition joiners if connecting Code 100 to Code 83. Does this come pre-assembled?Yes — each section is fully assembled with rail, ties, and spike detail. Just unpack, lay it on your roadbed, and connect with rail joiners. How much layout can 15 feet of flex track build?It depends on radius and design, but a typical 4'×8' HO oval with one passing siding uses roughly 25–30 feet. This 5-pack is a great starter for a small layout or an expansion for an existing one.
