A handy idea for track laying

I am in the process of building my first layout, and I've been using track nails. In situations where hammering is: a) causing to much noise...like after the kids are tucked in, or b) my normally patient wife has had a bad day at the office, or c) everything on the benchwork is bouncing all over the place, I use my square tipped pliers to pu***he nails in. It's quiet, non-disruptive, and effective. I had to redo my small yard three times, due to some rookie mistakes which were discovered when I test ran my engine on the track so I think I can feel for how painful it is to redo/alter trackage. <br /> <br />As for double sided tape...I have never seen an application of double sided tape that was of any longlasting use or reliablility. Even on carpets! <br /> <br />Trevor [:)]
