I am going to make my first purchase of sectional track for my outdoor layout upon the arrival of my first set hopefully this Friday. I am going to be using the Aristo-Craft USA Brass Track for this purpose. Now, I intend to design my backyard layout based on expanding a circle of track that will constitute my first purchase. Since I am yet to build a fence, I will be purchasing track in stages. My questions are… <br /> <br />1) What is a good circle diameter to begin with? I have noted that some have suggested 8 ft to allow for larger locomotion. Will the 6.5 section work as well? <br /> <br />2) There has been recently a few “bashing” question about Aristo-Craft switches. Since I plan on having numerous switches on my line(s), which type should I order? <br /> <br />Thanks in advance. <br />
