ez-track with wires underneath

[wldbily]

I recently bought some ez track online that has wires from end to end but only contact the outside of the joining parts and nothing connected to the track itself. It is HO scale track and wonder if anyone has an idea of what they are for? There is a black plastic cover over the wire on the underside to protect the wires. Pleaselet me know if you have an answer for me. Thanks

Well wid, based on your description that track is used for a trolley layout.  If you don't have/want a trolley on your layout, return it for 'wire free' track.

Ok, thanks. I have no idea as to what I am going to do as far as my layout of track.

Tons of options.  lots of free or low cost track planning software, books from Bachmann and others at your LHS, or, my personal favorite, wing it.  Get an idea as to what you want your layout to look like, then start laying track.  If your stock of track doesn't fit your 'plan', then alter then plan to fit your stock, or change your stock to fit the 'plan'.
Personally, I usually do the former.

Hope this helps.

B.T.W.  Are you running DCC, and how big is your available space?
