Perhaps the reason for your lack of sound would lay in the track itself. Are the grooves large enough to make sound as metal wheels pass over them? Take a look at some of the 90 degree crossings (or whatever devree you choose) and run some metal wheels over them. I'm not saying make the grooves in your flex track as deep as those as crossing re naturally noisier than track joints. I would suggest testing various grooves in what I call "crap track" (the stuff that can't be used on a layout) and make the groove a little deeper each time untill you hear that clickety clack. If you find that a desired groove looks too bad to be used, you still have not touched your Flex Track. Hope this works. <br />~Brian~
