A friend used screws up through the bottom of the ply board and never made holes in the top of the track. Track was very secure.
Yes adding feeders on every piece of track is very wise
I really enjoyed this, but can I ask a question, and make a couple of comments please? First the question: David mentioned a previous video about building the T-Track modules. Was this on another “After Hours” video? I can only see one for October 5, and this one on October 26. I’m still struggling with finding stuff on Trains.com.
now the comments: First, please consider putting the camera on a tripod, or at least a monopod. The camera is quite shaky for much of the video, which is distracting. Second, I’m not sure what microphones were being used, by David’s voice would fade out whenever he turned his head away from directly at the camera.
Sorry to pick these nits, but I hope they’re at least constructive. Thanks.

To avoid a twisting motion to separate the T-TRAK modules, use a narrow putty knife to pop the modules apart.
If old Unitrack rail joiners don’t conduct electricity very well, they can be replaced fairly easily. Kato makes a tool for removing the rail joiners that comes with their rerailer tool.
