The hardest for me has been designing a track plan and the CAD programs just frustrate me. Going through some old MRs I found a published plan I really liked that would fit in my space and it works well. I used Atlas flex and turnouts, mostly code 100 because I had quite a bit on hand. Some sidings, etc are code 83. If I'm not satisfied with an area of a yard, for example, I pull it up and redo it. For the yard and industrial areas I've been using the adhesive caulk method described recently in MR. <br />It works very well, and it allows you to redo an area without destroying your track. Since no turnout is more that two inches from benchwork edge I'm using Caboose Industries ground throws. No switch machine maintenence that way. <br /> <br />Ed
