I’ve been "lurking"for months and learning a lot from reading others posts, but have finally come up with a question of my own. My apologies to the “old timers” on this forum if this has come up before.
I’m thinking of using N scale cork roadbed under HO scale track for my industrial switching layout currently under construction. I know others have done this to get a lower profle for less heavily used track. Because of the width difference, I usually see an extra strip of cork placed between the two pieces of N scale cork, but I don’t want to go to the extra effort (unless I have to) of cutting this extra strip, making sure it is the same thickness as the N scale cork, etc.
Could I just fill the gap with extra ballast, or would this cause a lot of problems?
Anybody have any comments, or has anybody done anything similar. Thanks in advance.
Mike
