I just made my first permanent layout. I used Atlas Flex-Track along with Atlas Snap-Switches (It's what I had). I did mine in Code 100 track, the stuff with black ties, but you can choose Code 83 for a more realistic look. I would have used the Code 83 track with brown ties if I had started from scratch, but everything I already had was Code 100. Depending on how long it has been since you built your last layout, you may not have heard of DCC. Basically, it allows you to not have to worry about throwing switches all the time.
