[/quote] Yes. [:D] It's amazing how loud an HO train can be on a flat piece of plywood, especially in a smaller room -- I imagine a hollow door would only act as a sounding board and make it that much worse. Plus it's more fun to hear the click-clack of the wheels rolling over joints, points, frogs, etc than to just hear the amplified whine of the electric motor drowning everything else out.
