Don - Some more thoughts on E-Z track: 1. You can be "up and running" faster, instead of spending days laying track. I just finished "hearing" someone compain (on another forum) about how they never got to RUN the trains - spend all his time laying track! 2. Cost: Yes, E-Z is more expensive. But if it is true that "time is money", does this add to the cost of the "nornal" types of track? Only you can decide. Don't forget to add in the cost of track bed materials! 3. While you have limitations, mainly how "sharp" you can have a turnout, and how close you can have tracks, it is in fact (IMHO) more prototypical - real roads don't have tight curves! See the "Handbook" for E-Z track limitations, and some ways to overcome them. 4. You CAN ballast this track and make it look "raal" - again, see the "Handbook" for more information - and some good photos of a finished E-Z track layout! I don't expect that I will always stick with E-Z, but for a first project (and maybe for part of a bigger project later), it is certainly a possibility ! Again, good luck with your layout! - George
