We're Building a New Train Room and I Need Help Deciding on Flooring

I would advocate a decent underlay (will provide good insulation over the garage area and give a nice "springy" feel to the carpet) and some fairly inexpensive carpet. This way, in the event of spillages, etc you won't have damaged anything expensive but you'll have the "feel" of something far better due to the underlay (which won't be affected by spillages - you won't notice the stains if you have to replace the carpet). Hope this helps! <br /> <br />P.S. Light coloured carpet is a lot better than dark colours - you stand a better chance of spotting the tiny grub screw that leapt out of your loco on a light carpet than a dark one. Also agree with Brian's suggestion about low-pile carpet for the same reason.
