I have finished my bench work. (See my album "amszterpeter" - Ome-sen) Completed the layout plan and electrical wiring schema. Laid out the major part of the rails using Kato Unitrack. Ready to finalize and fasten the Kato Unitrack pieces to the 3/8" plywood base. Since my experience is with HO flextrack, this is new territory for me. One recommendation is to use white glue. I am reluctant as the Kato equipment have a very small footprint touching the base. I am asking you fellows to share your experience and recommendations for the easiest, least expensive way to proceed. Also would like to be able to undo and reuse the pieces if I decide to modify or expand the layout. Second question: I am using Kato's black plastic insulated rail joiners. There is no plastic between the rails and I wonder whether it is possible that the rails short circuit? Please share your experience and ideas. Thank you all in advance.
