Homasote vs pink foam board

[NW Modeling List]

Hi modelers,

 

                After being away from layout building for 20 years I’m ready
to get back in.  I’m looking for advice on whether to use Hoamsote or pink
foam board.

 

                I bought Seivers 48” modules in 16” and 18” widths.  Either
way I’m planning on using a ¼” plywood layer.  If I go with the foam should
I use the 1” or the 2” foam?  The layout is in a bedroom here in Southern
California so it doesn’t get under 65* and rarely over 95*.  I’m using the
plywood for mounting the turnout controllers.

 

                While on the subject of turnout controllers I’m having a
time deciding on either the PPW/Aline “Blue Point’s” or Fast Traxx
Bullfrog’s.  Any pros or cons on either?

 

Thank you in advance,

John Hecker
