In an industrial setting like yours, I would go down to the local hardware store, and by a roll of sheet cork that is used in making bullitin boards. It is the exact same stuff as the road bed and you are able to cover a fairly large area wtih it. In the styrofoam situation the track is glued rather than nailed down. these people are farly certain about the arrangment of track not changing in the future and thus can handle the permanance of gluing it down. As for the the Non DCC ready trains to DCC, that varies by manufacturor. Some of the easyest non-dcc to convert are Walthers Trainline and Athearn. You have to make sure that the motor contacts in situations where the rame is used as one side of the circut, (Like in Athearn) that that contact is trimmed down, and the contact point insulated. (I used a piece of masking tape) and then you solder the leads as per decoder instructions. (And dont give me any gruff about soldering being to hard. If my girlfreind can do it, [8D] you can to.
