Just spent too miserable afternoons screwing Lionel FastTrack screws (#4 1 1/2") straight into plywood train table top. They are way, way too long! If you don't get them perfectly straight up and down, they hang up on the bottom of the FastTrack and push it up while are leaning on the screw driver with all your weight to screw them down. What a nightmare. I don't know what Lionel is/was thinking. 1" long would be way long enough when going straight to plywood. Too late for me. it's all screwed down. and they all stick down at least 1" below the table. What does everyone else use. (Please, no "I hate FastTrack rants")
Included some pics. As you can see I'm just getting started.
thanks
