Kit Installation
Start by push pining all corner paper patterns in corners of room following the detailed layout drawing. Corners can be inset from the wall at equal distance, train track does not have to run along edge of walls. Make sure train will clear any obstacles.
Next: Following the detailed layout drawing, Center and line up straight and corner paper patters with lines, push pin all straight paper patters between corner paper patterns.
When you are sure you have all paper patterns aligned exactly where you want them to be, you can begin drilling. Wearing safety glasses, slowly begin drilling all of your 3/4" holes with the provided cutting edge bit at the X marks. Use a vacuum at drill location to cut down on dry wall dust. If you relocate your ceiling train kit, to repair your holes, cut up a sponge and place in hole 1/4 deep, skim joint compound over holes, paint.
When finished drilling all the holes, remove all hanger placement rectangles with a box cutter and straight edge, leaving a lite score in the drywall so you don't lose your square and exact placement for your hangers and to remove paper patterns easily after you finish installing all hangers.
Insert toggle bolt into 3/4" drilled holes, making sure wings flip out after inserting into holes.
Tighten toggle bolt with Phillips head bit while gently pulling down on hanger. Align hanger within hanger placement rectangle.
When all of your hangers are in place remove paper patters. Begin placing all of your curves and straight track bed centered on hangers, secure with screws, brad nailer, glue in place or dry mount.
A few sections of straight track bed will need to be trimmed to fit the room. Trimming locations are included on your detailed layout drawing. After all hangers, track bed are in place begin laying and anchoring all of your track to the track bed.

After all of your track has been installed, start stringing your steel wire on all straight track sections, feed through holes. Secure steel wire with knock down thread screws.
Knock down threaded screws are supplied with your ceiling train kit, in case you need more, place screw in pliers and twist with drill. Knock down threads keep the wire from cutting.
