Mixed Freight is correct on the Elmer's glue. It is what I used. I did not glue track down. I used Atlas 21st Century Track and put Carpet Tape under it. It is double sided. When I did finally ballast, I used Elmer's Glue. When I have needed to remove a section of track (due to adding an accessory), If the track was ballasted, simply wetting it and using a putty knife removed it fine. Ballast easily comes off the track if any is still on it. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL but the track will come off the Carpet Tape you just can not rip, Tear, Bust, Break. Take your time. All my track is directly laid on carpet tape which is on 1" Foam on top of my bench work (which I did not glue to bench work in most places).
