Joe · Peco code 75 flexi track.

Just a quick question, how do you pin it down? It has no holes in it by the way.

Thanks

You drill the holes in the sleepers with a drill (a small one, mind), then pin it down. Do a hole about every 6-8 inches along.

Instead of pinning it you could stick it down, or use one of the self adhesive track-beds such as Hobby's Instant rail Track Bed http://tinyurl.com/9hgcku or Woodland Scenics Track-Bed http://www.ecscenics.co.uk/

I thought about glueing it down, would I be able to do this with PVA?

Joe

Oh Thanks by the way.

Another way of doing it is to screw the track down between the sleepers and then glue it down with the ballast . Heres a you tube link to a layout that you can still see the screws and the locos run ok over them for testing

At about two mins in you get a good view of what i mean , I will see if i can find some better pics later but you should get the idea from this , It even works with n gauge

Joe

I take it you remove the screws after ballasting (when it is dry) or do you leave them in?

Teleman

Thats right Joe , you remove them and put in ballast where the screw was

Joe

Thanks, Its either glue or that way, probably that way now thinki9ng about it, because it will take less mess.

Teleman

I have never done it that way , but i do remove the track pins after the balast has stuck , next time that is the way i will do it , as it saves filling the holes in the sleepers
