The world's best ground foam

They're not as big or well known as Woodland Scenics or the European brands, but AMSI has been making the world's best ground foam for many years. If you're making trees, there's nothing better than this super-fine foam that is available in many colors and blends. Forgive their amateurish Web site.

A treasure trove of vintage ads

Quick Review: AnyRail free layout design software

Great free software for designing your layout.

Pros: very easy to use, fast learning curve; built-in template libraries for just about every track manufacturer and scale; free!

Cons: built-in templates for structures and scenery are very limited; drawing/graphics limited to polygons or compound curves filled with solid colors
