[quote user="gdelmoro"]Switches? #4, 5? PECO, atlas, other? Tortoise, atlas, Manual?[/quote] Use what fits, and works for you.   Which code rail you choose will drive the brand selection, or brand selection will drive code.  What is important to you? What types of industries are you planning?  Types of rolling stock.  This will guide your track geometry.  [quote user="gdelmoro"]DCC or DC?[/quote] What does your main layout have?  Are you planning on using locomotives from that layout? [quote user="gdelmoro"]code 100, 83, other?  [/quote] Most equipment runs on code 83.  Code 100 is generally less expensive.  Code 70 would make more sense for older industrial trackage.. but has fewer turnout choices.
