🔧 [DIY Trackbed Upgrade: How We Built Our EVA Roadbed]
At ANE MODEL, we’ve spent years exploring the best materials for realistic, reliable model railway scenery.
We started with the basics—tracks glued directly to the board.
Then came foam sheets, 3mm cork, and eventually 6mm oil-treated cork roadbeds.
Each material offered something different, but the high cost and limited flexibility held us back.
Recently, we discovered a game-changing solution: EVA foam.
It’s lightweight, affordable, easy to shape, and offers excellent sound absorption.
Best of all, it’s ideal for DIY layouts.
By using 6mm EVA sheets and crafting our own 45-degree cutting tool,
we created a custom beveled roadbed that delivers professional results without the premium price.
This video walks you through our journey from concept to creation.
If you’re a layout builder or just love model trains, this solution might just be what your layout needs.
