Reply to ""Rossbed" Roadbed by Ross Custom Switches : Anyone care to share their experience with this product?"

I use Rossbed under my Atlas switches and sectional curves. The Rossbed keeps the Atlas switches flat. Any bending or warpage of an Atlas switch after you screw it down will cause the weak switch mechanism to bind. I have about 40 Atlas switches on my layout and the Rossbed under them works great.

The Woodland Scenics foam will slide under Atlas track if adjacent pieces of track are supported by Rossbed. The WS roabed needs maybe 1/32" shimming to reach the bottom of the Atlas ties. Since I was going to ballast the track anyway, on long straight sections between track with Rossbed, I cut very short sections of Rossbed to place under the track at 6" to 12" intervals. Then filled in the space by sliding the WS foam in the gaps.
