I agree about the toy like sound but cork road bed for me is just enough and it gives off a more sub woofer like sound than just on plywood. I do like to use styro sheets for the ease of cutting it out for ponds and the like but I still love all the sounds and when possible I just use the cork on the ply. thanks again!!! hopefully others will give there thoughts too.

I hear ya (sorry, I couldn’t resist). Anyway, I think what the sound deadening crowd is aiming at is the unrealistic drum like quality you can get by running trains particularly on plywood table tops. Laying down foam or cork roadbed on Homasote minimizes this effect and makes the equipment sound solid and less toy like. I don’t think anyone is objecting to the clickety clack sound when running over switch frogs or rail joints. I certainly don’t.
