What do you all suggest as to how I should go about laying my flex track, or all of my track? I have cork roadbed with a plywood subroadbed. So nails are out of the question. So, any suggestions?

Best regards,
Mike
 
Well Mike I glued my cork roadbed to the plywood (50/50 diluted glue) then let it dry overnight. I then used track nails to hold the trackage in place before adding ballast. After the ballast was put on and dried I pulled the track nails as they're not necessary since the ballast (plus the glue from ballasting) will hold the track solidly in place.

Cheers

what we do at the club is a thin layer of latex caulk spread thin and tacked down with track nails the tiny tiny black ones
