mringer Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I have a Bachmann G -Scale train going around our tree. The track is directly on our tile floor and tends to shift. Is there anyway to stop the shifting of the tracks. I also posted this question on the tail end of a Christmas train post from 2012, so please excuse my double posting. I realized after posting it that iIshould start my own topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hi there and welcome. Assuming the track isnt coming apart at the joints, my guess is would need something under the track (like fabric or something rubber) to cause the ties to bite to in order to keep them from spreading/shifting.

grsman Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 There is shelf lining that is non-stick. Can be cut to shape as needed. That should keep things in place. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I've seen portable layouts that use rubber bands to hold track together. Thick small rubber bands going from tie to tie...install on each side of track joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Both great ideas. The self lining would be perfect and rubber bands too. That should fix your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
