Hey Herc, thanks! I see that EZ track is pretty inexpensive too (or maybe it isn't and I'm just used to Lionel Fastrak prices)
Anyway, it looks like I can make up a pretty nice 2X4 mini layout with EZ track for little dough.
(I know - 2X4 isn't much, but I'm starting small so I can actually finish this layout and have a good feeling about this hobby)
What do you do to transition from EZ track to (whatever it is you use) for a bridge for instance? You don't use EZ track on a suspension bridge, or trestle do you?
