Plywood, Cork and Track

Hi Folks: IM planning a layout in N scale -- ive been watching the Canadian Canyons video series from Model Railroader, and I notice in that series, David Popp chose to put cork directly on the plywood and then track on the cork, Does this provide sufficient sound dampening, or should I try to put a layer of Homosate over it (worried about switch rod lengths etc at that point)

Your feedback appreciated!

Tim - That's all that I use for my HO scale layout. I use 1/2" plywood braced with 1" x 4"'s every 16". I don't know how much sound dampening one needs for N scale unless you're running at warp speeds!
