Once the board was cut and levelled, next it was time to lay the track. This was hindered somewhat by my children constantly wanting to play with the trains. Eventually the track was screwed into place. Because the track is heavy duty plastic, it is weather resistant and screws very easily into the plywood base. 'Playmobil' provide fantastic plastic clips which clip the track together, enabling you to lay the track and adjust it before screwing it into place. The track can also be cut very easily and even glued together which enables connecting tricky sections that do not quite match up.
