VinylBed Manufacturer's Information
SO WHAT MAKES VINYLBED A BETTER ROADBED MATERIAL THAN ALL THE REST ?

SUPERIOR SOUND ABSORPTION - Vinylbed's recycled granular vinyl composition allows quieter operation by reducing vibrations and noise.

IT CURVES IN ONE PIECE - Use any piece of Vinylbed for a straight or a curve. A slit down the center or relief cuts are not required. The flexible vinyl granules squeeze together on the inside of the curve and s-t-r-e-t-c-h on the outside.

DIMENSIONALLY STABLE - Temperature and humidity changes do not effect the size of Vinylbed. Manufactured from unique weather resistant materials, it can be used indoors or outdoors.

E-Z INSTALLATION - There is no sanding, filling of grooves, or sealing necessary. Vinylbed can be fastened to benchwork with: brads, nails, staples, white glue, yellow wood glue, hot glue, or contact cement. It cuts easily with a sharp hobby or utility knife.

VARIETY OF SIZES - Vinylbed is available in multiple thicknesses to allow accurate modeling of all types of trackage, from lightly ballasted sidings to heavier ballasted mainlines and branchlines.

SUBVINYLBED ROADBED SYSTEM - Optional SubVinylbed can be used with specific sizes of Vinylbed Scale products to form a roadbed system. SubVinylbed simulates the roadway (sub-ballast) that elevates the roadbed to allow for modeling prototypical drainage ditches and also provide correct thickness and width for single or multiple tracks, view diagram.

TOUGH AND DURABLE - Vinylbed will not compress or deflect from the weight of your trains. Paint thinner, latex paint, or adhesives will not dissolve it. Popular methods of ballasting apply.

REUSABLE - Vinyl roadbed remains pliable and can be re-used. Other materials like foam, uncured rubber, cork, and homasote cannot. Vinylbed won't: shrink, swell, warp or harden.

CUSTOM MADE - Vinylbed is cut to prototype dimensions for scale tie track and proportional dimensions for tinplate and hi-rail track. When your order is placed it is custom cut to look just right with your brand of track.

RECYCLED - Vinylbed is a multi-shaded gray roadbed product, proudly manufactured from recycled materials in the U.S.A.
