Reply to "What Product Have You Used For Highways / Roads"

Ed, your foam roads look great...if you read my post above, I plan to go ahead with the foam product purchased at Hobby Lobby.  What marker or paint did you use for the yellow center lines...full and straight  Are you applying ballast to all roads, or just a limited number?

Paul, i didn't answer your second question.  I'm not sure.  It will depend on results of the cinder ballast street I'm working on now.  QUARTER GAUGER 48 and I have been exchanging ideas.  What I've found is markers don't work and the decal/tape for striping I used from Red Lion Train Depot will not adhere to the ballast. I'm going to try using an acrylic clear coat or lacquer to the top of the ballast followed by Dulcote as QUARTER GAUGER 48 suggested.  Hopefully it will then have a surface to which the striping will adhere. I'm also thinking of using office correction tape QUARTER GAUGER 48 suggested. Short answer, when I solve the striping challenge then I'll decide if I'll cover my current Foamie roads. I'll let you know.  Thanks for your comment and interest.
