CALNNC posted:I had a longer post leading up to this question, so just posting the question. Can MTH track be effectively silenced on plywood installed over 1X4 grid work attached to the walls? Yes, I read quite a few posts, but most brag about how quiet you can make Atlas and Gargraves track. Out of the question for me.
Get something rubber to put under the track. Then, don't run any lighted cars with pick-up rollers, mimimize the number of boxcars or other hollow freight cars or cabeeses.
I think you'll find the sound acceptable at that point, unless, you run the trains at ludicrous speed.
