Dear Tinibert,
On all the displays I have recently built for the shows we attend, I have used 2" 4'x8' foam insulation sheets.
They're lightweight, rigid, and easily available.
I fasten the track down with indoor/ outdoor carpet tape and use Scenescapes, Scenic Express, and Woodland
Scenics products to landscape them.
Thay have traveled literally thousands of miles and been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people, and have
held up wonderfully.
I've also used Homasote, but I prefer foam.
Have fun!

Although it's unlikely....maybe it will come out that soon. Since we have to wait till July for the new catalog and that we seemingly have more stuff coming out or at least being announced for the anniversary for July, Daisy or at least the rolling stock could be released very on this year.

We bought it brand new.

New Pacific Flyer?  Or one some kid beat his sister up with?

Sigh.........

Sounds like Bachmann won't be making announcements at the Toy Fair anymore, and will instead announce products at the NMRA in July from now on.

But what about a product to celebrate the 75th Anniversary? Unless that won't come until 2021.

where is the DCC socket on the 51000 series

There will be announcements next month for the catalog. Unless they shifted all thomas announcements which is unlikely.

Not sure if anyone noticed but Walthers has daisy to be expected 1/31/20, the flatcars due 1/31/20 and the tanker due 1/31/20. Also they have the prices for the N scale items, $125 for Thomas, $125 for Percy, $26 each troublesome truck and $29 for Annie and $29 for clarabel. I’m sooooo excited for them to come out along with Peter Sam.

I highly doubt they will be coming that soon.

My Father used Homosote in the Baltimore, MD area in the 1950' to 1955 time frame, in the Bay area, high humidity, no problem.

He used it in Winter Park, FL from 1956 to 1963, a lot of lakes and high humidity, no problem.

I used it in the  Seattle, WA area from 1968 to 1975, lots of fog and high humidity, no problem.

If you spill water on it, yes there may be a problem.
