About product

Cork underlay under N track, light, 9.8 m (HEKI)

A flexible cork bed that is laid on a layout under the track before the ballast is scattered. The box gives N gauge and a length of 9.8 m. Against the version for H0 the bed in N gauge is narrower; a wider strip would overhang beyond the rails and the shoulder would not look natural. The cork carries the track a few millimeters above the board, so that a natural profile of the bed comes about, and at the same time it damps the noise that the board would otherwise carry and amplify. The light shade is the natural color of cork. The manufacturer is HEKI, a German brand of terrain-building materials.

How it is used

  • Mark the centerline of the track on the board and lay the underlay along it
  • Glue with PVA wood glue, press it down and weight it until it has dried
  • In a curve shape it slowly so that the cork does not crack; join a longer curve from several pieces
  • Glue the track only onto dried cork and only then scatter and fix the ballast

Who it is for

For builders of layouts and modules in N gauge who want quieter running and the correct height of the track above the terrain. In a small gauge a clean profile of the bed shows even more than in the larger gauges, because the whole build is judged from a greater distance and the uniform line of the track carries the entire impression. The flexibility of the cork also evens out small irregularities in the board, so the track can be laid in a straight line even on a base that is not perfectly smooth.

The track, the glue and the ballast are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. When cutting the cork, work on a mat and guide the knife away from you.

FAQ

The box gives N gauge. For H0 and for narrow gauge with TT the manufacturer has separate versions, because the width of the roadbed is different for each gauge.

The box gives 9.8 m. When planning, allow for waste in the curves and at the turnouts on top of that, where the consumption rises.

It raises the track above the board, so that a natural profile of the bed with sloping shoulders comes about, and it damps the noise that the board would otherwise carry and amplify. In a small gauge both are clearly noticeable.
