and ready to add track.

Flattening the tops of the feeders will make them look like
spikes, thus hiding them among the rest of the trackwork.
As we continued building with CVT turnouts and Proto:87 Stores
solderable heel-blocks, which had no PCB ties, we graduated
from using copper clad in favor of using perf and non-perf board
as depicted. The perf board worked really well with Liquid Nails
adhesive. The holes allowed the adhesive to really grab the
board and hold it into place. It took another step to hide the
holes, but the preference to having a solid bond between foam
and PCB was worth the extra step.
Using this method yields another nice benefit. The stock actua-
tor wire included with the Tortoise is sufficient to adequately
