BEST TRACK TO USE FOR YOUR LAYOUT

It depends on your goals. For most of us here, Atlas Flex Track is a good choice. Learning to lay it properly is a skill but mastering that skill does not take too much practice. For turnouts I use Atlas and Peco. I really have had no problem with either. <br /> <br />Bachman EZ Track is what my father uses. It's advantages are that you can rearrange your track plan at any time. I don't think the turnouts are all that great and find Atlas Tru Track (their version of EZ Track) turnouts to be more reliable. Kato's version of EZ Track is probably better than Bachmann's as well.. Ultimately, you will probably want permanent track. You get better reliability with Atlas Flex track. It is also a whole lot cheaper, too. <br /> <br />For roadbed I use both the Woodland Scenic and the traditional cork roadbed. I prefer Woodland Scenics because its HO Roadbed has a much lower profile. It looks more prototypical and holds the nails pretty well.
