Temporarily Gluing Track (Before Ballasting)

Why not pick up a little bag of track nails at your LHS and tack the track down with them? Since they will only be going through cork and foam they'll be easy to install and to remove when you're finally ready to permanently fix the track in place. <br /> <br />I used nails instead of glue. My mentor at my LHS, has been modelling railroads for a long time. In fact he once told me when I asked how long it took him to finish his layout, <i>"I started it in 1956...and I'm still not finished!"</i> He said use nails, always. Never glue your track down. It's far easier to make changes with nailed down track than glued down track. <br /> <br />Just my [2c] worth. <br /> <br />Trevor
