Here I am once again writing an artical for you people. This time I will be writing about how to lay track. I am assuming that you have completed all the tasks in the first few tutorials and am going to move on. First of all there are several different types of track. If you are working with a starcter pack you will most likely have Atlas snap track or something of the sort. These track pieces might5 make for easy assembly but as you can see, really don't look all that great. If you are a beginner most peopple will recomend that you build your first layout using sectional track. Personally I don't think that this is necessary because my first layout was not made using sectional track. If you are wondering what the heck I'm talking about, sectional track is ridgid pieces of track that come in short sections and in several different radii. Another common type of track is flexitrack. Flexitrack comes in longer lengths than sectional track and can be bent to any curvature desired. This allows full customization but also adds extra work when it comes to lining up the ends with the next piece when you bent track into a curve the inner rail is always shorter and sticks out at the end. Use as hacksaw to cut of this excess rail. And now we finally get to te point. Although it is a bit different than most modelrailroaders do it. I preffer to attach my track toi my cork roadbed using a hot glue gun. NO WAY, is what most people say, "The ties would melt and it raises the track a little. Works for me. However if you want to do it another way you can use practically any type of glue and I haver even heard of people doing it with latex paint. I'm sure though that despite the availability of glue some people with lots of money to spend will go to the store and buy woodland scenics track nails. They fit in the little hole in the ties and hold down the track. Personally I think this is an effort to seperate you from your hard earned cash, but whatever. The hardest but perhaps the most realistic method of laying track is to hand lay it from individual rails and ties. I have never done this so I have no tips. Oh ya, almost forgot that for European train enthusiests they make concrete tie track to simulate that found in Germany and other European nations on the more heavily used lines.
