It is non fibrous.... Yes I agree the for and against argument will always be there on the merits of using underlay.In my opinion it works, and we have found a cheaper option

Got a cheaper option instead of cork underlay which would have cost us north of €400.00 this floor underlay cost us €150.00 approx and does the same job :D https://i.postimg.cc/0bpWFGjV/underlay-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/cvhD4sQY/underlay-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/MnqPScjq/underlay-3.jpg

Ballast in my opinion is just decorative, and has no effect on the running of the layout........Again when the stock is running with a cushion underneath its smoother

I would argue with respect .....that the rolling stock and trains have a more cushioned run, the underlay will absorb any lumps and bumps that the baseboard WILL have

Gives the rolling stock and trains a smother run its like a cushion between the hard base board and the track

3mm thick floor underlay by 20 meters (60 ft roughly) long and its moisture proof off local builders provider €150.00 about £129.00, as opposed to €450.00..£387.00 for cork in roughly the same length and it does the same job

wow good spot must keep an eye out for one

Mine is similar to the cduc2 and has got the kick for 2 points I have a few crossovers on the layout

Thanks for the answers it seems i'm okay with the 2 cdu units I have. Was just making sure I did not need a specific type

Just looking at some previous posts regarding CDU'S. I have approx 75/85 points on my layout, can any one suggest a particular size of CDU?
