You can use a hot glue gun for laying the roadbed and then the nails to secure the track to it.
Doesn't anyon have some pictures of their z stuff? The scenics above look great but no trains in the pictures. pete

Here's a few pictures of mine in production, with some detail for the ballast I use (Merkur Styroplast):









Sorry about the mess in some of the pictures!

Very nice coming out real good. I like the train cars. Ron

way too small for me--but with my space I could make a huge! layout...also those green passenger cars I rode on in Germany

Nightowl I've been away from this site for awhile but just now have seen your pictures. First thanks for posting them. We don't see all that much Z on here. Second it looks like you have a great start on a nice layout. Tunnels and bridges are always interesting and with a triple track mainline you can run at least three trains with the block system or many more with DCC.
I was looking on Yutube this afternoon and found some very nice Z scale layouts that you would enjoy seeing. Just type in "Z scale trains" and watch a few of them. Please keep us posted with your progress. Pete.

Must not be any progress. Huh? Pete

It's interesting how different the various scales look in photographs. If I didn't know better, I would swear this was actually an N scale or possibly even a HO scale layout being photographed.
