I have retired from 30 years with the government and decided to build my first large layout. Its in a room that is 40 x 45. I have used 1/2 inch plywood with Homasote as the top layer. Laying both Gargrave and Lionel Fast-Track, since it is a large amount of track, it would definitely be a lot easier to not place a road bed, but just screw the track down. I am concerned with the noise level, but would using a road bed help to extend repair times on rolling stock, or are there things I have not even considered in making the choice to use or not use. Any suggestions are appreciated.
