hello
thank you for the replay I would not glue it. I tried zip ties didn't like the why it fit. the most obvious reason is noise transferred to the wood I know it will not be quite but the less noise the better

Do you really BELIEVE that some #4 black oxide flathead Phillips sheet metal screws will increase any noise? That's a tale that's never been quantified.
I would suggest to you that fastening the track down snugly will create a closed air pocket in the open areas under the roadbed and make the track as quiet as it can be.
The other obvious benefit is that the track will not separate or move.
If you want quiet operation, don't run any lighted or powered cars with pick-up rollers.
If you are using a foam base, you should use the 4" zip or cable ties because they have the smallest head to fit into the screw head countersink.
