Bought the driver and screw set last week for shunting layout, fantastic fixing method. Quick and easy!
Thanks for sharing this I’m sure many others will be using this method now
This is great. New to the hobby. Couldn’t get my nail pins flush, didn’t think it was a problem till it damaged my new class 43, thankfully it wasn’t a major part of the undercarriage. This will be so much better. Just got to wait till after Christmas for them to arrive now. I’ll just have to remove the pins while I wait to run the new locos
great idea! its always the simple ones that are the best, especially as they are also available in n gauge, will def be looking to give these a try!
I used track screws in OO Peco set rack. I drilled a pilot hole. They use PH00 size screwdriver, use a decent size one as the cheapies are not fun to use. Easy to take out and change the track around.
Thanks for the video, I'll have to try them.
Thanks for that mike, I have seen these on ebay and considered them but had decided they would be to fiddly. But your video has enlightened me , Regards Kev
wow this is amazing thanks for the help I’ll have to try this out
Wow. I've got a lot of time for this. Great vid as always guys.
Fantastic idea, i am always changing track, thanks.
Hi and thanks for sharing this ive ordered mine today :)
Please could you supply a link. Thanks. Fabulous video!
Great idea
Brilliant solution
Thanks! was really useful, I saved the video.
Thanks Mike for your great tip using track screws instead of pins. Will now use them. As a matter of interest, how do you clean your track please?
Steel track needs a very fine abrasive block. Wd40 or iso alcohol or a similar solvent
that might be the way to go. if you are into changing your track plan a lot. I just glue my track down. then ballast. easy to get up if i ever need to. which after ballast goes down. I hope i don't need to.
I use the Gaugemaster "Hornby-style" track pins. I use pliers to push them into the board. I wouldn't recommend Hornby's own pins as they aren't as easy to put in.
Well, thanks to this I took delivery of my new screws and screwdriver from Fleabay today!!
It's a great bit of kit, you won't regret it
@@BudgetModelRailways Furthermore, it's because of you that I will also take delivery (I hope) of a 2nd Fleischmann HO diesel shunter from the same establishment! Bought the 1st in Helsinki 1988 when I was into this before! Great little runners! Thanks for the videos guys!
So the best thing about this, apart from ease of use, is being able to easily move the track mm's to rectify an incorrect positioning. Really useful so thanks again for the tip.
Happy to help, happy new year
@@BudgetModelRailways and the very same to you too :) NB my Fleischmann HO shunter from EB was a great find and works well. A good place to source, where otherwise one can find such dross at expensive prices in "shops" :)
Nice one👍
What’s it like screwing into cork strips?
Not sure sorry as I never use cork
Wow , neat little method , still undecided on how I’m going to fix my track down tempted to glue down - any thoughts?
I think it depends on how certain you are you don't want to change the track plan at any point, and on what glue you use and what your base board is made of
Budget Model Railways was going to use a few blobs of epoxy resin hear and there but if people can rip ballast up I could rip the track up if I went for PVA
Poundland often sell 0, 00 and 000 size screwdriver kits.
Bit awkward if you have a mdf base. I hold pins with long nose pliers and use a small hammer left over from a wooden model of HM Supply.
I guess it depends on how dense the MDF is
what wood were you screwing down
is there a way for ballasting the track and screwing
the nails
Could you please give a link to these thanks!!!
Just put track fixing screws into the eBay search box
hi. whats the best way to take a piece of track or point up without heaving to take up a great line of it. like i have tried to replace a point and had tou un pin about 5 pieces of track eiyher end of point. thanks
I had the same problem too with second hand track. I ended up just digging up the surrounding track and ballast. As much as I tried I couldn't find an easier method.
I'm told that if the fish plates are of the correct type you can slide them along the track to release the faulty bit of track without lifting the point. I've never managed to make it work though!
Hi do you have to pilot drill the wood first before screwing in?
Not that we found
How would these work through ballast mat and melamine?
Just done that on a new layout and they work fine, although you might want tousle longer screws
Who would they work in foam board
If you stick with the traditional track pins like I have, then use pliers to push the pins in, much easier than the fiddly hammering them in.
Depends on what the surface of your base board is, some of the harder woods are too hard for pliers
Ok I have not tried it on all woods, but large engineering pliers (not snub-nose) holding the pin from above and pushing straight down exerts a lot of force.
The removing does risk the sleeper as you point out though.
can you use steal track with peco nickel silver track on dc
We do it all the time , it just needs a good clean
Ps, we use a mix of steel and nickel and whatever fits, in one case I had Lima, Hornby, Peco, Mehano, Jouef and Airfix!
Where are the EBAY links please?
Just put track fixing screws into the search box
