Spend the weekend tracklaying in West Seattle, as these photos attest. The method I use is to tack it down with push-pins, apply drops of diluted "liquid latex" (3:1 with H2O), and then apply weights for about 8 hours. There are faster methods, I'm just used to doing it this way so I'm in a rut. What I like about it is that the latex is not water soluble when it dries (although easily removable if you want to make a change later), so when you put down ballast with water soluble glue like PVA, you don't have to worry about the track glue coming loose. What's your favorite method for laying track?
