ANTHONY:
Homasote is a pressed-paper material. It is available as pre-beveled
roadbed from Homabed. I am sorry I do not have the URL at my finger-tips,
but I'm sure someone else will provide you with that. Ron Bashista, Am.
Models, probably has some available. If you'd like to see what it looks
like, unbeveled and not sized for use as roadbed, go to a hardware store and
ask for Homasote. If they look puzzled, tell them it's the stuff people use
between driveways and sidewalks to close up the gap between the two. You can
mill your own roadbed from the hardware store material, but it's an absolute
mess and the tailings go everywhere. Best cut/beveled with a reciprocating
saw as that makes less mess. It's main use is noise supression.
