Thanks for the response. You are this topics best fan! Velcro is a better way to hold the skirt on but as you know takes much more work to sew on and install on the layout. I have seen Velcro on layouts at train shows that get moved and set up often. I took the quick easy way and also do not remove the skirt so the tacks work ok.
Next posts will be on Special Trains run on the layout.
