Whether its a lone streetcar, four- or six-axle road units hauling a couple of cars to a local industry, or commuter trains moving passengers, people enjoy watching full-size trains navigate rails embedded in concrete or asphalt. But when it comes time to re-create that on a model railroad, the enthusiasm often fades. Styrene sheet and strip (April 2008 Model Railroader, pages 36-38), Wood-land Scenics Smooth-It (Feb. 2018 MR, pages 42-44), posterboard (Nov. 2000 MR, pages 78-83), air-dry clay (see the Winston-Salem Southbound project on Model Railroader Video Plus), and even commercial offerings, such as Walthers street track inserts (no. 933-3140), are a few solutions modelers have at their disposal for modeling embedded rails. While working on my HO scale Christmas layout, I found that craft foam sheets made it easier than ever to simulate embedded rails.
