You can now buy me a coffee to help support my blogging and YouTube video efforts. Building small model railroads, weather, and astronomy are the hobbies I like to share online. Any donations will help to support the cost of keeping the websites going, and will also allow me to upgrade my cameras, lighting, microphones, etc. to produce higher-quality content.

Thanks for the great videos on you tube. I've started construction of the 2 x 4 layout you have done. Im waiting for the track to come so I can continue the build. I have done ho and o guage railroads before. but space constraints caused me to go to N scale which I like as well. All the best to you

Hi Steve, YOU are a master builder!!!!!!!!!!!! Disability forced me to give up RC planes ( 89 y/o) and I have switched to n gage trains. Goodness! The model train world is MUCH larger than the RC plane world. May I please know the foam board you use and where to get it when you have a moment. I hope it 's OK to ask questions. Thank you, Ed Rhodes
So, I normally use insulation foam board from Home Depot or Lowes. Each store carries a different color by a different manufacturer, but they are otherwise the same. Our location carries the material in 0.5", 1", and 2" thicknesses, in 4x8 foot sheets as well as 24"x24" project panels. I can't carry sheets that big in my vehicle, so I just bring a knife that I can use to cut the material down to a size that will fit once I get to the car. It is super easy to just score it with the knife and then snap it along the score line.
