billtee Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'm just beginning to lay track (code 75), and want to use cork underlay. What is the best thickness - 1/16th or 1/8th? The actual baseboard is 9mm plywood. Many thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren01 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 HI Have you looked at this?; C+L 3mm foam underlay , I am using it on my new layout and have found the running of my loco is much better and a lot less noise as well. Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
