[Pre-Order] Walthers 948-9031 | Turnout Roadbed for #4 RH Turnout | HO Scale

Laying turnouts and crossings is the fiddliest part of building a right of way. This WalthersTrack roadbed pad is preformed to the exact footprint of a Code 83 No. 4 right-hand turnout, so there is no cutting cork into wedges and no sanding to blend the profile. You drop it in place, lay the turnout on top, and move on. It is made from the same dense, sound-absorbing closed-cell foam as the rest of the WalthersTrack roadbed range, and it matches standard HO cork roadbed profiles, so it blends straight into an existing mainline without a step or a dip.
