Model Railroading > Substitute for genuine Balsa-Foam?Date: 07/31/20 15:20 Substitute for genuine Balsa-Foam? Author: Bscale316 It appears Balsa-Foam has been discontinued. I know there is styrofoam, green florists foam, blue insulation board, etc.
but would like to find sheets of a true replacement. A Google search shows lots of "foam" products but none seem to be a true replacement. Thanks for ideas.

Hard to find the larger sheets compared to finding blocks. Also smaller retail quantities. Still working on it. Bill in Ft Worth |
