Given the quality of commercially produced model track in the U.S. I'm not surprised that north Americans have forgotten such simple pleasures? as hand laying track. If you can get hold of one from your local newsagent try buying a U.K. model railway (thats European English for railroad.)magazine such as Railway Modeller. Even if there is no article on tracklaying there will be masses of adverts for components such as sleepers, rail sections, jigs, gauges Etc. there are also companies in the U.K. who supply points (turnouts) in kit form. One thing to be mindful of though is that U.K. model trains are manufactured to OO scale not HO ie 4mm/ft not 3.5mm/ft.
