@Bruce Brown posted:Let me offer a different suggestion/observation after seeing your photo:
1) Finish adding floor tiles/carpeting (think I see some black tiles) before you complete the layout. Soundproofing under the table makes a big difference.
2) Finish the ceiling and overhead lighting also. Basically I'm suggesting you finish your train room before doing more on your layout. It will be so much easier to complete room construction without worrying about damage to your layout.
Yes, I made the mistake of completing my own layout before the room was completed. Fortunately, I had an excellent carpenter/drywall expert to bail me out!
YES YES YES. LISTEN TO BRUCE.
I've been finishing my basement for 15 years while I build the layout. Dumbest thing I could do. The drop ceiling I did last summer was incredibly difficult.
Learn from my mistakes.
By the way I use 1 inch foam on top of plywood. I like it and do not regret that. Do not used foam alone. It will become a giant speaker. I have a custom removable all foam section of the layout. It's louder that any other part of the layout.
