@Rider Sandman posted:I used Homosote and foam based on recommendations on the forum. And it was still unbelievably loud. Rail sounds were irrelevant because they were completely drowned out by the noise from the track. I ripped it all out and am selling it off. I replaced it with Atlas and the difference in noise level is night and day.
My understanding is that the noise from FasTrack is not from the roadbed, but rather from the hollow rails themselves. That according to someone in a YouTube video I once saw. Thus the layout base makes little difference.
