The tracks in the industry area will be mostly at street level. That requires to do a lot of street running (without any plaster!!!!
)

I use a layer of 2.5mm (0.1") blue foam up to the ties (that is for Atlas code 83 tracks, you may need another thickness) and cover it with 0,3mm (0,012") styrene up to the side of the rail "under!" the rail head. The styrene is so thin you can see the rails through it for easy marking of cutting lines. Another help is intentionally design of straight tracks where possible.
Simple strips of 1,5mm (0.06") blue foam is used between the rails (paint the edge prior installing in the track).
Everything is mounted with water dissolvable white glue. The blue foam and the styrene joints should not be at the same location.
