Atlas Pre-Cut Cork Roadbed

Atlas Pre-Cut Cork Roadbed provides a realistic, dependable foundation for model railroad track of any scale. Precision-cut with a beveled edge, each strip accurately replicates the sloped profile of real railroad ballast. When split and shaped, it creates an authentic raised track bed that instantly enhances the realism of your layout.

Cork’s natural sound-dampening properties help absorb vibrations caused by operating locomotives and rolling stock, resulting in quieter, smoother operation—especially on plywood or foam sub-roadbeds. Lightweight and flexible, Atlas Cork Roadbed conforms easily to curves and transitions, making track installation fast and frustration-free for both beginners and experienced modelers.

Made from long-lasting, environmentally friendly cork, Atlas roadbed resists warping, cracking, and drying out over time. Its slightly textured surface holds ballast and scenic materials securely, helping you achieve a professional, prototypical finish on any layout.

Whether you’re building your first railroad or expanding a large home layout, Atlas Cork Roadbed delivers the simplicity, realism, and performance your trackwork deserves.
