@Dennis-LaRock posted:That's great!!! I like your style! I was tempted to suggest the pliers because that is probably what I would have done. I often do things to my layout that makes some folks nauseous.
I use a 6" plumbers level for side to side shimming... and, I don't screw the track down tight ...just barely enough to hold.
What is under the green matting? If it's just ply I would consider adding homasote or sound board (sound board is recycled sugar cane fiber down here in New Orleans) under the matting. It adds a tad of give and leveling that my trains find desirable. It would also quiet the Fastrak quite a bit.
I think you've got this! Rock On!
Yea, I will tweak that switch point a bit more, but it seems to be working very well.
Under the green matting is plywood plus two layers of the white bubble sheet padding that goes under pergo flooring. It is just under 1/8" thick, so there is some give under the track.
By the way, you mentioned that it would quiet down the fastrak, but there is no fastrak on this layout. I have been down that road, and left in in the rear view mirror. I have a loop of it just so that I could run trains until I finished my table.
Now it is all Ross track and switches.
