    2 DCC controllers

    2 Bachmann DCC controllers both connected to the track. Each one set for only one different locomotive so I don't have to keep switching locomotives on one controller, but have complete separate control of 2 locomotives without controllers interfering with one another.

    Fastening Track to Layout

    N scale track nails bend and difficult to nail down between rails....(layout top is hardwood.) Anyone recommend two-sided tape? What is the name and where can I buy "foam board" to make a better layout top? Actually, track connectors hold the track in place "fairly good." but not 101%.
