I'm going to make a suggestion about screws, I had a shelf layout on 1" x 10" x 12' sections. I first cut up some indoor/outdoor carpet ( you know the type with rubber backing ) I then took my screws and more or less painted them with liquid electrical tape. ( home depot/lowes will carry it. ) My shelf was about 8' up in the air, and yes I could hear it but as a whole it was a lot quieter. I'm getting ready to build a new layout ( I've moved since then) and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to go about it. I want to use O gauge track as I have so much of it. I may use gargraves with wooden ties. I do have a lot of that also but I only have 4 switches and no motors for that. I have O-31, O-42, O-54, and O-72 in both. I do believe I will use indoor outdoor carpet as a base though. I'm not really looking for the perfection layout where you make grass and road ways. I also put strips of carpet on all the frame work before the plywood goes down.
