Oh yeah, if you don't want the EZ-Track, you could probably sell it to a dealer for a few $$ anyways, or you can use it for the under the Christmas tree! Look at the different track codes, code 100 is very big, but easy and reliable, where code 83 is more realistic and just about as easy reliable. Many people liike Code 83 Atlas Flex and Peco turnouts. Peco turnouts are known for reliability, but are more $$$ than Atlas. I use Atlas. Make sure your turnouts are "DCC friendly", so if you use DCC, or will ever use it, you will not have turnout troubles. They will also help a bit in having more reliable DC operation.
