I'm currently building my first model railroad. It is a 16' x 9' L shaped HO scale layout. I'm am using 4" of EPS foam throughout. I have already purchased most of the cork roadbed that I will need and I'm in the beginning stages of glueing it down. I've come across a few posts where people claim that the noise is an issue when using the cork on foam benchwork. Is this really a very big issue? Most of the noise complaints come from people using 2" or less of the EPS. Will my 4" help reduce noise? I plan to have sound in some of my locomotives. Does that negate the noise? Will I regret the cork? Is the Woodland scenics foam roadbed easier/harder to work with? Should I bite the bullet and switch to the WS foam roadbed?
