TD, I just want to add, that I have used cork for years. But I can't say that it helps with noise. By the time you add all of the glue and the ballast and glue, it is rock hard down to the wood. But it has always run better than track on most other mediums that I have tried. More importantly, I always have SOMETHING under the track and above the wood. It keeps the bumps and creases to a minimum. For industry, I use thick cardboard and lay all of the industry trackage at or just about road height. But the elevation must be a mimimal difference from the mainline, so interchange is not an issue. Unless that is the definate desire for the spur. You are getting a lot of good advice from these guys. Now, work through some of these ideas. You can always start over before going too far. NO one is wrong here. They are all giving their best opinion and sharing their experiences. I love this forum.
