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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for more HO track and roadbed?
