Road and Parking Gravel Hides Seam Between Foam Sections
Two 4' x 8' Beaded Foam Insulation Boards Cut to 4 Sections of
Circle
The foam board is used for ease of
wiring off the train table and each section needs only one
electrical drop per foam section. The electrical drops avoid
the Access Hole. The 1 1/2" thick foam board was cut with a
sabre saw, electric carving knife, and utility knife. The edge
contour allows for train overhang.
