I only use tiny screws. This way the track is easily lifted for repairs, modifications or adjustments. I have a drill to drill the ties and baseboard and a special screw driver for the Phillips head screws, it holds the screws until they are almost fully driven in, at which point I release the screw from the screwdrivers grip. Then I turn the screw the final few turns until it is securely seated.

I do not and never will use track pins, they are usually too difficult to remove.

If anyone would like information on my source, post a comment here. I will check back periodically but is there is a way to get e-mail notifications of further comments?
