Hmmm… I should look them up. I’m in need of some wooden crossings, and although I don’t mind making my own, some of the manufactured ones sure do look nice. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've got a road I need to model about 18" long and I was going to use plaster, but it might be worth using this stuff. Has it got a particular name other than 'craft foam' ? <em>I'll check the label this evening to see what it is actually called. I got it at Wal-Mart in the craft section. The package contains about 10 sheets (5 black and 5 white) of about 12" x 18". I cut it using my rotary cutter to about 3.5" width for narrow roads or a little wider for parking along the street. I put two layers beside the street where I want sidewalks (see downtown Stevenville photos). It makes a nice base for buildings too (see the early Kenville Miracle Chair building photos). Glad I could introduce you to something new! Scott That’s pretty strange, I’ve not come across that before.
