teejay Wrote:Homasote is great stuff and I used it and spiked the track ( takes spikes really well ) on my last layout ......BUT , the price up here is outta sight ....about $40/sheet 10 years ago and hard to find . I just can't afford that price these days ( probably higher now ) and I couldn't salvage the old material to reuse . Cork , in rolls , is pretty cheap ....I'll cut it and glue down the track . It'll have to do since it's all I can afford . Probably will generate more noise this time around , too , but ear plugs are cheap ! Thumbsup T

A. I get Homasote in 2' X 4' sheets at Menards, and cut the roadbed strips from the sheet.
B. I'm not building a large layout ( although the old modules occupy 12' X 4'-8 1/2" of floor space, and the new modules
12' X 3' - 4"
)
C. And ----- I haven't purchased any recently ----- 357 Wink Wink
D. :o but I will have to when I start the On30 modules Eek 35 Wallbang
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
