I see the small holes, but are nails only suppose to be used? I have also seen some articles on using foam to lay under the track to dampen the noise. Any and all help would be great. #Post#: 510-------------------------------------------------- Re: Attaching Fastrack to layout table By: djacobsen Date: January 10, 2014, 5:09 pm --------------------------------------------------------- bdeditch, Hello & Welcome to the Forum! You can use either a small nail or a #4 screw to attach your track to your layout, using the holes that are pre-drilled in the track. Pink or blue extruded foam has been used on layouts to deaden the fastrack noise, but some other form of fastening must be used. I have heard of folks using clear silicone sealant/caulking to attach the track to the foam. Lay out with a pen/marker where the track will be placed, lay down a line or two of silicone, then pin the track in place until the silicone sets. After the silicone sets, remove the pins. Happy Rails. Dave *****************************************************
