QUOTE: Originally posted by selector I'm beginning to wonder if glueing down the ballast is such a good idea. I have only glued the top 1/2" so that it forms a protective shell to the still-loose stuff below it. My road is still quite noisy. It would be a great help if someone (or a team of someones) spent a week of nights and did a trial with various combinations of sub-roadbeds and roadbeds, anchored and non-anchored, glued and non-glued to see how each does at quietening things up. It would be a boon for those of us who have sound to not to have to keep the volume quite so high so as to hear flange squeel, for example, above the truck noise. Just thinking. Why doesn't MR tackle this type of project? As a magazine dedicated to our craft, you would think they'd do comparisons, or hire someone to do it and to report.
