Thank you! Can I substitute Peco switches for the Atlas ones? I have found a layout that I like in one of the Atlas books and was hesitant to buy track other than what they listed. It sounds like I should use a mixed bag from what I am reading between the lines. Also is there a good source online ot order this stuff? I am just starting my research so I still have lots of digging to go yet. I have built a couple of HO layouts in the past, but nothing elaborate. The one I am looking at will be small 3x6, but somewhat complex. It is a "Cookie-cutter" layout. The layout recommends 1/2 in plywood, but I was hoping to go with polystyreen or something just to keep it lighter. Any comments on this too would be greatly appreciated. Sounds like I came to the right place to get some information. Thanks again!
