The baseboard is pretty dense mdf...I'll have to see how well it takes pins. If it's too dense, then adhesives would definately be the way to go, as I can forsee many bent track nails. But if not, well, then I'll have to decide. I think I have some liquid nails that has not yet been opened.
I'm not going to paint the track or balast. I'll leave that up to the kiddo (though I'll encourage him to do so at some point). Painting rail & balasting is something he'd probably do well.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
