We use finishing deck screws #6. It is about 1 3/4" long and fits thru the holes in the tracks. These have heads that also fit in MTH realtrack. That is what I orginally bought them for.
If you put enough of them in, the track holds its place. Do remember, this part of the layout is only tempary for our open house and Christmas Display.
When we build the finial layout, the track will be mounted on 1/2" foam and 1/2" plywood. I have found this to be the best for noise reduction.
And now for other good things.
Today we recieved 7" of the white stuff and only had a high of 25 deg. Over night low was 17 deg and they say we can get another 7 or 8" tomorrow morning and I have to go to Grand Rapits again.
Me too - - But it happens all the time - I click the link then click on "Last" in the page listing at the top of the forum....Bob Collins said:

Morning from a 38 degree NC. More building on benchwork today. Had to stop early yesterday to water greenhouse plants and then for the Sheriff's victory celebration party [fried fish, fried chicken and Eastern NC Pork Bar-be-que]. Plenty of sweet ice tea. Then I had Town Board. Hope to get back going as soon as I get back from Lowes picking up a few more 1X4's. Have a great day.

Good Morning Everyone. It is a cold 19 degrees here. We got some of that white stuff early this morning. Just a dusting, enough to make the roads slick. Hope everyone has a great day today.

Good Morning Everyone. Right now it is a cold 17 degrees here in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Today I plan on painting my steam locomotive cab black and get it into place on the train park scene. After that I will be hanging up more christmas lights and maybe get the tree out and start with that.
Have A Great Day Everyone.
