I built a 4x8 track out of EZ Track. other than how it looks, the track is fine. The turnouts are a C-. ON my layout I had 17 and I had to put a lot of work into them to get my engines to run smoothly. I won't use it on my basement layout.

I wouldn't consider it junk, but it doesn't go for me. I use Atlas Flextrack.

I use Kato easy track in N scale. It works for me you can have trains running in a hurry and its fairly easy to use. I am messing around painting it and ballasting it to make it look better,,,Cox 47

The problem with EZ track is that it is so blasted expensive. I just use cork roadbed and scenic ballast.

EZ Track is mainly for a temporay layout or a less extreme modeling layout. It's a great jump into the hobby, but if you want to get serious, I recomend using flex track, and some type of roadbed.

EZ Track, to a limited extent, allows you to put your first train set on the shag carpet and run it with some success. The weak points are the electrical connection betwixt the track and power pack, switches have disassembled themselves, the power pack is great for running accessories, anything beyond simple oval and passing track is pushing the envelope. The difference between black track and grey track is black is steel, gray is nickle silver, both will work with each other. It and the Atlas equivalent are OK for the seasonal railroader (think Christmas tree layout). Ground level layouts are suseptable to being stepped on, carpet fuzz, stepped on, pet hair, stepped on, household dirt, stepped on. The Flex track mentioned above and a dedicated raised layout are a couple of the prime requirements for a reliable layout.

I have a 4x8 layout and an 3x4 "L" with a switch yard all of E-Z track .There are 17 switches which do not cause any problem. There is 2 main lines and a reversing loop. I run DCC. Because I think this is temperary nothing is glued or nailed down. I love the stuff because it is quick and easy. I have so much invested I may just keep the whole setup in EZ track. [8D]

If you make a major investment in it, go ahead and use it. The only thing that keeps people back from using it is that it is sectional, and has a maxium radius of 22" I believe.
