*TIPS* Blu-tack saves the day!

There really isn't anything better when it comes to fixing track to a conservatory floor! :) As soon as the layout moves into its proper room, proper tacs and a hammer will be used!

see if i had to put blue tack on my layout would i still be able to put the grey gravel stuff down sorry im new and not sure whats its called ?

[InterCity82]

@calumc604 - if you were putting down ballast then you would not use blue-tac really, you'd use proper track pins.

I've heard this can damage the sleepers over time, causing them to bend, snap etc.

Have you ever had any problems?

Btw, your temporary layouts ace. Great job on the sidings and stuff. Can't wait to see your new layout.

[InterCity82]

@12yearoldNFSMWDK - I've been using blu-tack on the temporary layout now for about 2 years and have had no problems so far.

[legoboy70]

[EP1CSR00MAGE]

[InterCity82]

@commanderwalker13 - The track I use is standard Hornby and Peco track.

[commanderwalker13]

does the track you use how does it stay togther? what track do you use?

[gtacrusher123]

i thought this was caled blue tack track sounds better

[InterCity82]

@KinletHallsthebest - lol, as the layout is only for fun and something to just run trains on I don't mind the blobs of blue everywhere actually. You kinda not notice them after a bit.

[KinletHallsthebest]

gr8 if hornby or some1 came up with black blue tack hahahaha

[InterCity82]

@Calum643 - at the moment the temporary layoyut is in boxes as that room is re-decorated and the new layout will have 3 main rails going round it.

[Calum643]

Do you have two track up at the moment or will you just use the track from this layout and put it on the board?

[InterCity82]

@samster412 - a proper layout is under construction. This is just a temporary one for fun and to experiment with. As well as run trains on. Videos of the proper layout will come when I'm ready to upload them.

[samster412]

when are you putting it on the base bourds

[InterCity82]

@mongoosekid14 - if it's under the track, it lifts the track up, and the entire layout would be bumpy. I really don't mind how it looks to be honest as it's only a temporary layout and it's the trains I'm more interested in.

[mongoosekid14]

instead of putting it on top of the sleepers really squash it down under the track then it would look better for the time being lol blu tack to the rescue olololo

[InterCity82]

@ianjackiemattlee - lol, the layout is only temporary
