Looking for more HO track and accessories? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Track & Accessories. Features Five 36" (91.4cm) sections of double-track foam roadbed — 15 feet of mainline base in one package Pre-shaped for two parallel tracks (proper double-track spacing built in) Dense, closed-cell foam matches common HO cork roadbed dimensions for easy mixing with cork sections 3/16" thick, 3-1/2" wide at the top, 3-7/8" wide at the base Smooth surface — no extra sanding before painting or ballasting Track can be nailed or glued; cuts cleanly with a hobby or utility knife Quiets train running noise compared to bare benchwork Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand Walthers Track Item Number 948-9010 Scale HO (1:87) Product Type Double-Track Foam Roadbed (5-Pack) Material Closed-cell foam Section Length 36" (91.4cm) each, 5 per package Dimensions per piece 3/16" thick × 3-1/2" top width × 3-7/8" base width Condition New UPC 616374219537 FAQ Will this work with cork roadbed I already have on my layout?Yes. Walthers foam roadbed is dimensionally compatible with standard HO cork roadbed, so you can transition between the two with just a small bevel where they meet. Do I need to glue the roadbed down before laying track?Most modelers glue the foam roadbed to the benchwork with foam-safe latex caulk or white glue, then lay track on top with track nails or more glue. The foam will accept either nails or adhesive directly. What track spacing does this support?The double-track profile is sized for HO scale double-track mainline spacing (typically 2" between track centerlines), matching prototype practice. You can use it with Walthers Code 83/100 flex track, Atlas, Bachmann, or any standard HO track. How much double-track mainline can 5 pieces cover?Five 36" sections give you 15 feet of double-track base — enough for a meaningful double-track loop on a 4'×8' or larger layout, or a long mainline run in a shelf-style around-the-room layout.

The Walthers Mainline Plymouth ML-8 is the perfect industrial switcher for short lines, factory sidings, and museum railroads. This HO scale model captures the charm of the rugged little Plymouth diesels that have moved freight cars in industrial yards from the 1920s through today, painted in classic black with high-visibility yellow safety stripes and supplied with decals so you can letter it for any railroad you like. Looking for more HO scale industrial switchers and rolling stock? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Diesel Locomotives. Features Five-pole skew-wound motor with machined brass flywheel for smooth low-speed running Prototypical low-speed gearing and helical-cut gears for quiet operation — ideal for slow industrial switching All-wheel drive and electrical pickup for reliable performance over turnouts and rough industrial track Heavy die-cast metal underframe and hood for excellent tractive effort on tight curves Three-point suspension for positive track contact Constant directional LED headlights and RP-25 metal wheels Etched metal see-through radiator guard and separate metal handrails Decals included with Cornerstone industry logos, road numbers, and lettering options Standard DC analog operation — DCC-friendly mechanism (decoder not included; Walthers 910-20019 is the DCC version) Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand Walthers Mainline Item Number 910-10019 Scale HO (1:87) Type Industrial Switcher (Diesel Locomotive) Engine Style Plymouth ML-8 Road Name Painted, unlettered (decals included) Color Black with yellow safety stripes Era 1920s–Present (industrial) Engine Electronics Standard DC (DCC-friendly) Material Die-cast metal underframe & hood, plastic cab Wheels RP-25 metal Condition New UPC 616374222599 FAQ Is this DCC-ready?Yes — the mechanism is DCC-friendly. This is the DC analog version (no decoder, no sound). For factory-installed DCC, look for Walthers Mainline 910-20019 instead. Why is it painted but not lettered?Industrial switchers like the Plymouth ML-8 served countless small railroads, factories, and shortlines, so Walthers ships it painted but unlettered with a sheet of decals — pick from the included Cornerstone industry logos and numbers, or letter it for your own freelanced road. How tight a curve will it handle?The Plymouth's short wheelbase makes it ideal for the tight 18" radius industrial spurs typical of switching layouts. It will handle anything an HO layout can throw at it. Can I add sound?The DC version has limited internal space for a decoder/speaker. If you want sound, the dedicated DCC-only variant (910-20019) or the DCC-with-sound version (910-20020 series) are easier paths than retrofitting this one.
