Building of a Module, Part 3: Roadbed Continued

I started with the switches when laying out the roadbed because I intend to use flex-track for all of the remaining track. I think that this will provide the best look for my branchline.
While cutting the cork, I found that the easiest way was to set the piece against the edge it needed to match and make my first cut. I then used a steel ruler to guide my knife to complete the cut.
One of the main things that this picture shows is that I used the cork roadbed only for the mainline. I intend to create a ramp to make the change from roadbed to table top. This will help in showing the difference between the mainline and the spurs.
