what is the recommended method to attach the tracks to the table to prevent it moving out of position?

Once the track is in place and connected, it stays pretty well intact. There is some wiggle room but for the most part the trains glide nicely along the track. However, after some time my son will start to use some pretty big trucks to play demolition man and collapse the beautifully intricate track I designed. :) I don't think you would want a method to secure the track in one place. Its a lot of fun coming up with new routes to surprise my little one!

I installed from top of the track and drilled a screw in the bottom of track to hold in place.cut off excess.

Just lay the 2 tracks down under the matress on tip of the center bar and side rails built into the bedframe. It keeps the matress from caving in.

I had to redo the setup like three times because I wasn't getting the side brackets, that the rails sit on, perfect. I ended up using a block with a ledge on the edge of the table so I could butt the brackets against and get all four perfect. I had my brother tighten the bolts for me while I held the brackets in place up against the blocks. Then there was still a little friction. I ended up using some dry lubricant on the slides and I stopped using the clamps on the slides because they were causing binding. Once I did that, the problems went away. First and foremost, the setup has to be right on so that you eliminate binding problems.

Sorry you are experiencing difficulty. My experience is that the tracks are a little difficult to snap together (takes a little pushing), but once together fit firmly and well.

Pull out at a slight angle and follow the track. Than slip it in the track to replace.

The basket is not welded to the tracks. You can place the tracks where you need them and then attach the basket.

I don't know which ones you got. But there are 3 different types of tracks - these, interactive and wooden. And none of them are compatible with each other.

without getting the pieces out of the box I would say there is probably between 55 to 60 pieces of track the rest is little accessories. Yes I would put it on a table or a piece of plywood my husband built a play table to set the track up on.

Just make sure you are using a 'Trackmaster' starter set, not Take and Play or wooden style tracks.

Didn't use glue...should just snap into the track...if that doesn't work maybe a clear silicone so you can remove it if you have to without too much difficulty.

You can get clamps if you like, but the track has a slip-resistant strip on the bottom. I have used the track without clamps numerous times and it works fine. Depending on what I am working on, I will sometimes use clamps.

To give a little more info. The top is secured to a simple wood bracket that slides along a wooden track on the two walls of the table. Unless screws are loose or the bracket to slide along wall rails was never assembled, I don't think you'll run into an issue

Don't worry. The metal sets will not short out the track, because one wheel has a plastic hub between the metal shaft and the metal wheel.

There's a switch on the blue box where you connect the tracks . Make sure the batteries are in the right way . Also do not use it on carpet . Doesn't catch and the track won't swivel because the base slides

Not a good idea at all. Any pressure on the wheels needed to buff will cause it to move all over. Bolt it down or simply drill a coupe of holes in the table top and install removable pins.

You can do it underside, but some times if the wood is rough enough, the anti slip material. Won't allow you to move the track... Sometimes it allows it and you have to clamp it
