Panther97,
No I did not try to combine the solid and tubular RealTrax, had enough to make the inner oval with the solid. I understand they do not match all that well.
The noise suppression I use is the Block Sound Suppression Ceiling Tile on top of my 3/4 Ply platform, with a piece of inside outside carpet over the tile, so the platform looks like a child like wonderland. It kills the rail sound so dead that my wife ask me not use the building technique on the upper parts of my multi-level layout, she actually likes to hear the trains run at Christmas time, in our living room. I got my old Sound Suppression Block tile for free out of an old building that was being torn down long ago, however Lowes now sells a similar product.

Good idea. I have indoor/outdoor carpet on top of the OSB as well. There doesn't seem to be an issue with Realtrax. I'm actually expanding the layout. I'll try out the suppression block on the new section. Thanks for the tip.
