Mark:

Stacy and I decided to attempt ballasting out entire layout to fix the tracks to the baseplates. By using a combination of tiles and plates, you can stick the straight, curve, and switch tracks to the baseplates quite nicely. You can check out examples...

Switch Track

Curve Track

Straight Track
