Do you have an enclosed backyard so that the railroad is not visible from the street? Securing the track can be done depending on the type of roadbed you use. I'm starting to use concrete as my roadbed of choice. When pouring the concrete, you could embed wood or pvc pipe that you can then use to screw down the track. But, one thing to consider is expansion/contraction. If you secure the track so that it can't be moved then it may deform as it expands and contracts. If you live in an area with big temperature swings then the best way to handle expansion/contraction is to free float the track in ballast and have lots of curves (avoid long straight runs of track). On a curve, expansion/contraction tends to just have an inconsequential effect on the radius of the curve. Jon
