Hello all,

I am considering both for sound insulation using HO Kato Unitrack for subroadbed on a pine shelving layout.

Anyone use either and what are your thoughts/experiences/recommendations?  

Thanks much!

Those of you that follow my build thread may remember my backdrop suddenly kind of wrinkling up as if it had gotten wet on the side against the wall. I had other things going on, so I pretty much ignored it. But, as construction has come to a temporary halt while tensions escalate and negotiations continue on the border, I took a closer look. As I suspected, the portion of the backdrop that is damaged is directly in front of a glass block window.

As an early sign up to all three of JoeF's new books I was pleased to get access to the first issue (Trackwork) the other day.  I also attempted to gain access to the RLAD website but I am afraid the sign in process is somewhat user unfriendly and has defeated me.

I have a question about the ebook.  I have downloaded a PDF copy to my desktop computer but would also like to get one for my IPad bookshelf.  Could the publishers please advise methods for gaining access to alternate versions.

I am in the early phase of ultra light sectional layout construction, and was planning to use square aluminum tubing framing, extruded polystyrene (XPS) risers & sub-roadbed, cork roadbed, and Bragdon resin based scenery to support the roadbed.

Light weight layout sections are a must because of back issues.

After reading Joe Fugate's recent article in Sep MRH (pg 143), I am looking for alternatives to big box store XPS sheets.

Has anyone researched dimensionally stable foam sheets?

Thanks,
