Oh Brother! I only wish I had found OGR several decades ago. I thought I was well ahead of the game when I screwed and glued homosote (sic) to the framework back in 1999. It is so much better than the plywood we used 50 years ago too. Back then Dad cut an old Persian rug into strips for under the track and used coffee grounds from his Deli for ballast. Unfortunately the basement became infested with moths that loved the carpet. Noise...I don't remember any noise, perhaps because that 44 foot long double loop of track was inhabited by Jesse James and other nefarious folk, or did Joe Friday and Elliot Ness rule the day. Nope...no noise back then. Today...it is another matter, I may rebuild...but then again, I wonder why. You guys are great - lots of good info in this thread. Thanks
