Don,
Thanks for commenting. Its interesting to me that you caulk down the sidelines and that you have 2 motors on a fiber board field? The 308 uses one motor and from my experience one motor is MORE than satisfactory for fiber board. I believe Reg sells the FF.net motors for $35 but you need a train controller to adjust the speed. Maybe Pierre's motor's have a low weight on the coutner weight or are much smaller motors, I don't know. I'd sure be curios to see how two motors run on that type of a board.
As far as locking down the board to the frame, my experience is that liquid nails, glue, etc tend to deaden the side lines (which is fine if you don't plan on using the sidelines as the playing field). Does your board have dead sideline with the caulk? Using screws tends to hold the board down without completely dampening out the vibration on the sidelines, I first saw this on people using 308s. For my 308 I screwed down the corners, the 20s, and the 50 since the playing board started warping.
I hope to see you at Miggle and we can compare boards and board tweaking tips to get em runnng great.
Joe
