FAQs
What gauge are these nails designed for?
These nails are specifically designed for the HO/OO gauge.
What track system are these nails compatible with?
These nails are compatible with the PECO Setrack HO/OO Gauge Code 100 system and the Code 100 PECO Streamline range.
How many nails are in a pack?
A pack contains 25g of nails.
Do I need to pre-drill holes?
Pre-drilling is recommended, especially for harder baseboard materials, to prevent the nails from bending.
What should I do if the nails bend?
If the nails bend, carefully remove them and pre-drill pilot holes. Replace the bent nail with a new one.
Are these nails reusable?
Yes, but handle them carefully to avoid bending. It's best to use new nails for secure fastening.
How do I remove the nails?
Use a small tool like a tack lifter or a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry them out.
Troubleshooting
Nails are bending during installation.
Pre-drill pilot holes in the baseboard before inserting the nails. Use a smaller drill bit than the nail diameter.
Track components are not staying in place.
Ensure the nails are hammered in securely and flush with the track. Check that the baseboard material is suitable for the nails.
Nails are difficult to insert.
Make sure the track holes are clear of debris. Use a small tool to gently guide the nail if necessary.
