general construction advice




Hello,



this is my first post. I am in the planning stages of building a new layout. This is by no means a hi-rail layout. I will be using the old lionel track. I would like the construction to be simple as well as end up to be relatively quiet. (O layout)



I was thinking homasote over 1*4 and laying the tack on cork road bed with adding rubber ties. I assume someone still sells these.



Comments appreciated. Hope this is the right place to post.

The toy trains forum has more knowledgeable folk on Lionel layouts. I would put a piece of plywood down first and then put the homasote on top of that. The cork roadbed should work fine.

Good luck,
Paul
