 IMO only I would, I think it would be more comfortable all year long. I also think it will help in heating and cooling. As for ceiling tile it may help with keeping the dust down, I know they recommend that in the basement train rooms

 

I agree wholeheartedly. No only for the reasons listed above, but the more stable the environment, the less troubles you'll have with expansion and contraction with temperature changes.

Hey MRRDER"S I have a question that I would love to have answered, I'm currently insulating my garage that I'm turning into a trainroom, the garage is detached from the house it was built (along with the house) in 1941, it has a loft with a A-frame,the loft is used for storage and I will have a hatch with a chain ladder, now I'm thinking about adding a tile ceiling, should I insulate the ENTIRE frame, or just leave it as is, the trainroom walls will be drywalled along with insulating the garage door. I live in Portland Oregon where the summers can be quite hot and dry and the late fall and winter quite rainy windy but mild or bitter cold and snowy for a good portion of the time. I hope this info help's in getting the answers I need. Take Care and Happy Modelrailroading!!!!!!
