I don't think NOT having a roadbed is a problem. But depending on what your top surface is, that may transfer sound to your room and may cause problems. For my last layout and my current layout I have used a 4x8 sheet of Homasoat Board over a gridwork of 1x4 boards. This has served me well for my layouts and may be used when I expand into the next room area . I have no experience laying road bed or ballast, but I have bought some Cork and some Woodland Scenics to see which I like better. Chris
