To start off with I have an open becnhwork so it's easy to be above the track and have my hand below. When I wanted to mount my switch machines, I decided to try silicone. I bought GOOP - HOUSEHOLD from Lowes. I put a good amount on and a week later when I wanted to take it off to change the size of the control wire (listen to that remark about using a bigger wire then the one furnished) I almost couldn't get it off. I now use just enought to make a "C" on the mounting surface. I was able to mount better then twelve of them in an hour. I use a card connector that I get from Loy's Toys along with the spacer to make the 10 place card connecter work on the 8 place connecter on the Tortoise. When I was told to do the mounting this way, I thought that it was to simple to work but I was pleasently suprised. I've had two out of 32 fall off the wood - just pick 'em up and put them back up there. <br /> <br />To Chuck: <br /> <br />Was your layout on the San Jack tour last Oct - Nov? I think that I got to see your layout but I'm not sure. I definately remember Clodfelts because we had bid on some stuff on eBay and I warned him about my getting ripped off by the same seller. I probably was driving a 45' motorcoach. I saw several layouts around the Crosby area, that's the reason I asked.
