Most of my code 83 Atlas flex track is mounted
on Midwest cork over Bituthene. See
The stuff
is used to weatherproof around home windows and comes in
wide rolls with an adhesive backing. I cut it into narrow strips
and put it on top of the plywood roadbed. I use adhesive caulk
to stick the cork to the base and also caulk the track. Bituthene
is very similar to Dynamat and other sound deadening prod-
ucts used in the automotive stereo industry.

The best I have found is a product called Vinylbed. The
name changed recently to Flexxbed. It can be ordered directly
from the factory at Hobby Innovations.

TT&TO: Rule 91
Q.
My train, No. 24, is in a siding waiting for No. 6 to pass.
When No. 6 passes, how soon can I come out of the siding and
how closely can I follow?
A.
Check out Rule 91. First, check your timetable again for traf-
fic that may have moved up on you since you went into the
siding. Review your other orders. If all is clear, by the time you
throw the switch, get the brakeman back on, it’s going to be
about 10 minutes. By the time you get your train up to speed,
it’s almost certainly going to be 10 minutes.
