Code 70 rail

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I will be starting to build my Ashcreek Lumber Co. railway, which is my version of the McCloud River Railroad. I have been planning, (dreaming) about this for a couple of decades now!! Some of you may have seen my pictures at http://www.trainweb.org/mccloudrails/Miscellaneous/AshCreekLumber01.html That was a little trial layout that I built into a small little pie shaped corner shelf in the last house.
We have since moved into a newer, and bigger home, and have finally got my own train room!!!!!!
I am planning a shelf layout around three walls of a 12X12 room, with an island into the middle of the room.

Now here is my question! I want to stick with code 70 track for all the runs, and I like the 'hand operated' turnouts like the Peco brand that I can just snap to the diverging route. So, does any one have any experience with the Micro Engineering(ME) code 70 turnouts? Do they snap over, or could I use a sprung Caboose Industries, say...204s high level switch stand to help snap the ME points over? Would the Peco code 75 turnouts match up very well to the ME flextrack?
In other words, what is a good combination of Code 70 flex, turnouts and switch stands?

Any insight into the code 70 track thing would be appreciated!
