Made from dense, closed-cell foam that matches standard HO cork roadbed dimensions, this roadbed quiets train running noise, lifts the mainline above the surrounding scenery, and provides a smooth, ready-to-paint surface for ballast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for more HO track and accessories?
