I doubt anyones first layout was like what you see in the magazine. I'm on my third layout which is 5'x11' with a 2'x4' offshoot. My first two layouts were 4'x8' and the first one wasnt that great but I learned a lot in the proccess. <br /> <br /> I used Bachman E-Z track on my first layout and was not impressed by the build quality. Like you I had trouble with the turnouts derailing cars. There is an article in a former Issue,I dont recall which one,but there are several tips on how to deal with derailments. I'd suggest using Atlas True track on your next one because I feel they are of much better quality then Bachman. <br /> <br />
