I did consider how well they would withstand handling on the table top and decided to glue the tracks in place to give them a bit of protection. At the end of the day if they do go wrong they will be easy and cheap to replace.Artificerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12473961441434051807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555412065011414053.post-23437469631383902362013-09-11T12:27:19.302-07:002013-09-11T12:27:19.302-07:00I suspect that unless you glue the track links to ...I suspect that unless you glue the track links to the superstructure (in effect making your hangers cosmetic) then the ally hangers will quickly deform and not be track hangers any more. The brass is good for this as it is resilient. I got mine (the stuff I should use more.
