Does anyone know a source for screws for securing FasTrack?? Ideally, I'm hoping to put a 1" layer of pink foam between the tracks and the plywood baseboard but I can't find any #4 screws long enough. Longest I can find is 1 1/4". This layout needs to be stored vertically so screwing the track down is a MUST. Is there a reason Lionel went with the fairly obscure #4 size instead of the MUCH more readily available #6 size? Seems like a really dumb decision.

Since FasTrack fits together so well, all you really need is one screw per section. Just drill that hole as large as you need.
SeattleSUP,
The company you want to deal with for all your screws and fasteners is McMaster-Carr, find them on the Net and have the screws sent right to your home. I would need to dig the package out to tell you exactly which screws I use for my FasTrack,
but McMaster-Carr has just about every kind of screw, nut, both and fastener you will ever need.
