Another vote for nailing, ballast, then remove the nails. On my latest (and maybe last) layout I've laid 1" fom over 3/4" plywood, with cork roadbed on top. Ive used the standard track nails to hold it in place. This allows me to fine tune the track as I "run it in" to get it PERFECT before I glue it in place by ballasting it. Since perfect trackwork is the basis of a good layout, anything that prevents us from getting to perfection should be pushed aside.... Does that mean that I need to be pushed aside??? Mark in Utah
