I agree. It's why I swap plastic wheels for metal ones. And I have sound in the locomotives as well. Didn't think I'd like it at first, but now there's no going back.

Forgive my ignorance, but are you all talking about using artist's Liquitex or other brand matte medium, and, second, are you talking about using it straight or diluted like white glue is diluted? Thanks.

Most of us, maybe not all, but most of us, would use Mod Podge or some other matte medium available at Wal Mart or craft stores. And most of us would dilute it somewhat. Maybe close to 50/50, although I only use yellow carpenter's glue and I dilute it to about one part glue to six parts water, plus two drops of dish detergent.

great....that's exactly what I'll do...I've been using white glue, but now that I have a chance to start a new layout from scratch, I want to improve. Thanks again.
I've used both, on the same layout, and can detect absolutely no difference other than the price. Mind you, the layout is built on very solid benchwork, with 3/4" thick sub roadbed and cork layed atop that (in most, but not all places). Perhaps there's more noise generated by foam-based layouts, particularly when the builder uses lightweight framework in the interests of portability.

I think you might find the only difference in Modge Podge and white glue is that Modge Podge will not soften with water once set. BILL
