Dave, I would consider using some type of subroadbed, like maybe 1/4" plywood or 1" foam and shaping it to the grade. Aside from the noise issues, it would give you a base to put the ballast on for a more realistic look. <br /> <br />Depending on how you plan to run the train, I'd guess that 12" shelving wouldn't be wide enough for the curves, and you'd probably have to go to 18". I might be wrong, especially since you don't mention the locomotive and rolling stock you'd be running. The length of those units would also factor into the width of your shelving. <br /> <br />Hope this helps somewhat. I'm not much into G-scale.
