RRCRaftsman LR-CR-H6 HO Scale Half-width Cork Roadbed Roll 6mm Thick
48' Roll / 24 feet of roadbed when doubled
Cork has been the sub-roadbed material of choice for decades. It's all-natural, clean, provides an appropriate rise to create a ballast profile while helping to deaden the sound.
This product is 6mm thick and is used for HO scale mainline track applications. Rolls are unique in being able to deliver long, sweeping curves without traditional joints. Unlike strips, rolls do not have a bevel edge. The slope of the ballast profile is created with a bead of caulk. Use a thin, steep application for highly groomed mainline tracks and a thicker, wider application for older or less-well maintained lines.
A single roll is slightly longer than 48-feet. Laying two strips side-by-side will produce 24-feet of roadbed from a single roll. Strips are 0.75" wide and produce a roadbed 1.5" wide. Rolls allow roadbed to be shipped more economically than long strips!
