Servo Screws to hold track in place

[upnick]

Hi All,

While laying track i had need to hold the flexitrack in place to create an S kink in it whilst the glue set, looking around for a small screw to hold it temporary i came across some servo screws thin 10mm long and with a washer on the head to apply gentle pressure holding the sleeper down.
Once the glue has dried remove and reuse them the hole made in the trackbed is not noticable once covered with ballast later.
About £3.50 for 50 on ebay.

Ah did you say to create a S curve kink, thought those were a no no.
