Worth knowing about track construction screws and nails
Various manufacturers offer model railway tracks in different gauges and variants.
1. Tracks without bedding
2. Tracks with bedding
Bedding means the track bed.
When laying tracks, whether with or without bedding, it is essential to ensure that the connections between the individual pieces of track are neat. An open rail joint and/or an ill-fitting rail splice can cause a power interruption.
When laying the tracks directly on the layout, i.e. without bedding, it is advisable to use shorter screws or nails.
Our recommendation:
Advantages:
Saving of the high ballast bed,
Quick and easy laying without having to adjust an underlay.
Disadvantages:
no noise insulation,
not a scale ballast bed.
Longer screws or nails should be used when laying the tracks with finished bedding.
Our recommendation:
Advantages:
Quick and easy laying including gravel bed,
Some track systems have a click system.
Disadvantages:
Visible joints at the joints,
little noise insulation.
When laying the tracks without bedding, under which a base (track bed) made of cork, for example, is installed, longer screws or nails should also be used.
Our recommendation:
Advantages:
no joints,
to scale,
noise reduced,
banked track curves are easier to display,
Color of the gravel freely selectable,
results in a prototypical look of the ballast bed.
Disadvantages:
Previously mark the center line for finished bedding.
In the case of panels (cork), the underlay must be trimmed after the track has been laid,
very time consuming.
Below is a list of manufacturers:
1. Tracks with finished bedding
