Looking to build a small layout. The layout will have a tempered hardboard base then foam and track on top of the foam board. Any options other than using foam board for a base that will still keep trains quieter but not cost so much?
*Update I have been looking up about the different ideas about what to use as of now I'm debating on the Floor Muffler product at Home Depot or Quietbrace. Might be leaning more to the Floor Muffler I want to keep the price down on building this layout. The layout will smaller than most layouts the max space I want to have is 42 inches by 42 inches. Originally it was to be 3ft by 3ft however, due to some suggestions and looking at what I have to work with I decided to extend part of the plan to make it easier to run a slightly lager steam locomotive and have the track so tight to the edge. The plan is still with in my limit of space I do not want to go to 4ft by 4ft because of space limits.
The rough track plan idea- https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/t...ft-o-27-layout-plan?
