<P>My bench work is nearing completion and I am about to begin the layout stage. I have a general idea of how I want the track layed out. I have a u-shaped layout in a 12X12 room. I was interested in DCC. I am planning on using Atlas code 83 track. The layout will (hopefully) have between two and four trains running with several switches. I also plan on using cork as the track bed. </P> <P>My questions:</P> <P>Is there a specific Atlas track(and switches) I should be buying to be compatible with DCC? Is the wiring easier with some other brand? I am assuming the easy tracks (ex Bachmans E-Z Track) aren't too compatible with DCC.</P> <P>Any ideas which DCC system I should be looking at?</P> <P>Any thoughts on cork vs foam. I have heard/read arguments for both.</P> <P>Thanks in advance for the input and info.</P> <P> </P>
