I am long time HO but new to G and am in planning stage for future back yard RR empire. I intend to use elevated ladder construction for track base. However, the info I have seen so far does not adddress how the single track ladder approach is applied to dual track or turnouts. I would assume you would just use a wider ladder. Is that correct? Any pitfalls to watch out for? <br /> <br />While I am at it, I would gladly accept any comments on my strategy. I intend to use battery power with remote control and expect to eventually have 250 -500 ft of track (depends on how good my negoiations skills are with my wife). I am leaning toward brass .250 track (USA style) to keep cost down (vs stainless). That assumes I can locate matching track and turnouts under one mfg (Aristo?) to maintain a common look. Don't know what I will do for turnout control...have not had a chance to check out the options (manual vs elec vs air vs ???). <br />Paul D
