Back On Track


After a lapse of about nine weeks, for no reason other than I was pursuing other interests, I found myself with a few hours alone in the basement and satisfied the urge, which came out of nowhere, to lay down some cork roadbed and, just maybe, if I have enough time today, some track, too, although I don't want to get ahead of myself at this point.

I've always used white glue as an adhesive to fasted the roadbed before this but today I used an adhesive caulk, mostly because it was handy but also because I'd read that it was better than white glue. And it is, inasmuch as it's got enough tack to hold the cork in place that I don't have to pin it, although I did pin the ends to keep them bent around the curves.
