While a tedious, long chore, it is time well spent to insure that your track is rigid and will not be the cause of unnecessary derailments.

There are three primary means by which to secure track to your layout – glue, nails, soldering the rails or any combination of the above.

I am using Bachman EZ track and intend to nail (drill a hole in the ballast area) and solder my track to achieve the required ridgidity. The frequency or spacing of glue or nailing is subjective, but I would recommend at least two points on every track rail piece. If you intend to use some flex track for bridge work, then I would recommend every 6 inches
