You can see pictures of the roadbase below and a movie of the tram running on it. Note the small section of track with plasticine in between the rails. This seems OK but I don't trust it to be safe for the engine in the long run.

Tram track roadbase ready and tested...
Well, I cut it out, tested it and have put it in place. I even filled in a section with plasticine to see how that works out. Not as well as I want, to tell the truth. I think I need to experiment with paper or cardboard first. I've added an extre timber support and will likely be adding some more soon.

G'day Chris, I use card for the road base between and either side thee rails. The maximum width of the card I use between the rails is 14mm, it's easy to pull up for work and cheap to replace. Any dramas or questions, just ask. Regards Glenn
