Jacon, <br /> <br />You can nail your track down, or pin it with map tacks. However, to really install it, flex track will have to be cut. The inside rail always ends up longer and must be cut off (always put the sliding rail on the inside of the curve). For that reason, it may be better to wait for "final installation" on the foam. <br /> <br />When you put the track on the foam, you will not be able to nail it - I would sugget that you use adhesive caulking to "glue" it down. Make sure to get a foam-friendly caulking. You can hold the track in pace with long pins until the caulk is dry. <br /> <br />Here is a link to a great article done by MR: <br /> <br />http://www.trains.com/content/dynamic/articles/000/000/004/379dcjrm.asp <br /> <br />It's in pdf format, so you'll need Acrobat Reader. <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
