After many years away from layout building, I am considering building the Atlas HO layout #35 ( Berkshire Valley route), my second layout I will have built. I like the Atlas plans because the plan is laid out on a grid-plan , according to the specific track, switches, wiring, etc. I plan to use code 83 The layout calls for partial flextrak, but the majority of track is sectional. Are there pros/cons to using all flextrak? Is it easy to use, especially setting up the curved sections? Any recommendations on swith machines, or make some of the turnouts manual throws? I will use DCC on this layout. any comments/ suggestions accepted.[?]
