    Atlas Layout thingy

    I use rts from atlasrr.com and it works good. Takes alot of time to work with flex track but it will do what you want it to do. With flex track you almoste have to build the layout first, reason is you have to know the exact measurement "how long" the flex track is befor you can plug it in a...
