.
2. If Connectors interfere with Foam Sheet, mark Connector locations and cut 1"
notches in Foam Sheet to fit around them.
3. Pin Foam Sheet down and trim to fit outside edge of Tunnels
(Fig. 32
and
33)
.
4. Use Foam Sheet scraps to cover remaining Tunnel area

. Don’t worry
about neatness, the work will be covered in a later step.
5. Glue in place with Low Temp Foam Glue. Remove Foam Nails when glue is set.
Platforms
There are no precise measurements for
Platforms. Refer to illustrations
(Fig. 34
and
35)
and buildings being used for approximate size
and location. Test fit buildings when arranging
Platforms.
Supports elevate the Platforms and do have
specific sizes. Refer to
Support Height for
Platforms
for height information.
Make Platform A
Platform A provides a spot for buildings
(Fig. 35)
.
1. Cut out the two pieces of Profile Boards
designated “Scrap for Flat Area A,” then glue
the two pieces together
(Fig. 34)
.
2. From 1/2" Foam Sheet, cut seven or
eight supports, 2 3/4" high. Glue supports
between the ribs of Profile Board and test fit
above Tunnels 1 and 2
(Fig. 35)
. Platform
placement should not be higher than the
profile of the layout.
3. When satisfied with placement, glue in place
with Low Temp Foam Glue.
Make Platforms B, C and D
Platforms B, C and D are for buildings, factories,
towns and roads
(Fig. 35)
.
1. Use 1/2" Foam Sheet to make flat areas B, C
and D. Where roads are planned, the Foam
Sheet needs to butt against Risers. For low
areas, allow space between Foam Sheet and
Risers.
