What if I used this on top of the felt cut as roadbed?: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Fu...0553557-32/202601407
Do you folks think it would look right?

I don't think so. If you go see the bonded pad in person, it usually won't present as gray like that picture. That picture shows a gray/black product with flecks of pink, blue, red, etc. in it. Usually, when you see that bonded pad, it will have a green tint or pink tint. But you'll have to go to your local Home Depot to be sure.
If I was building a layout from scratch like you, and was going to use pad, I would use the pad I linked to or something similar. If I was going to use something visible, above the felt, as roadbed, I'd opt for purpose-made material like Flexxbed. Although, I've never personally used Flexxbed so I can't opine on it's performance. I just think it looks nice.

I think it would work just fine, similar to what I have used. Just put your felt over it.
