QUOTE: Originally posted by jbinkley60 I have fixed the derailments at what I consider reasonable speeds but I am wondering what others consider reasonable or how they know it is good enough ?

QUOTE: Originally posted by ehowe One technique I've heard several people using is to use silicon caulk to glue down track to an extruded foam base. After reading this discussion, it would seem the caulk would allow slight vertical movement that could lead to derailments. Is anyone here using this technique and not suffering derailment issues? I was thinking of trying this for an N scale layout, but now you've got me concerned.
