Track nails are small fasteners used to secure model railroad track and roadbed to the layout surface. They provide a mechanical method of holding track in position while the railroad is being constructed and can also be used for permanent track installation where appropriate. Atlas specifically designed these nails for model railroad applications, making them suitable for working with the smaller dimensions of HO and N scale track. 1/2" Round-Head Design Each Atlas track nail measures approximately 1/2" long and features a round head. The compact size makes the nails appropriate for fastening track and roadbed without using oversized general-purpose hardware around your model railroad. When installing track, nails should be driven carefully. Avoid forcing a nail down so tightly that it distorts the ties or changes the track gauge. The goal is to hold the track securely in position without deforming the track structure. Use with Track & Roadbed Atlas recommends these nails for use with both model railroad track and roadbed. Depending on the construction method of your layout, they can be used to secure track directly or to help fasten roadbed material to the layout base before the track is installed. They are useful throughout many areas of a railroad, including: Mainline track Sidings Freight yards Industrial spurs Staging tracks Passenger station tracks Track expansion projects Temporary track positioning during construction Roadbed installation Compatible with HO & N Scale Layouts Unlike many Atlas track components that are specific to a particular rail code or track system, Atlas Item #2540 is intended for both HO and N scale model railroad track. This makes the nails a versatile layout-building accessory for modelers working in either scale. They can be useful when installing sectional track, flex track and other track components where nail fastening is appropriate for the layout's construction method. Approximately 500 Nails Per Package Each package contains approximately 1.4 ounces of track nails, or about 500 individual nails. The large quantity provides enough fasteners for substantial track-laying projects while leaving additional nails available for future layout expansion, repairs or track modifications. Useful for New Layouts & Track Expansion Track nails are a basic but valuable accessory when constructing a model railroad. Whether you're building a new layout, adding a siding, expanding a freight yard or replacing existing track, having a supply of properly sized track nails makes it easier to secure components as the track plan develops. Because the same nails can be used with both HO and N scale track, ATL2540 is also a convenient shop supply for modelers who work with multiple scales.
