Am returning to MRR hobby after many decades away from childhood Lionel..;>})
And I've now got me the basic EZ Com controller, also an extra DC jump throttle,
to use with one DC-only and two DCC locomotives. Am now in the process of
setting up just a simple test oval with EZ track, but would also like to add a
siding or two fairly soon...

So, what turnouts would folks here recommend? What do y'all mostly use? I see
Amazon has the EZ DCC turnouts on sale and I'm wondering whether
to go with two of those to use with the EZ DCC controller, or go with Atlas or
Peco DCC friendly turnouts and wire them with separate toggle switches?
What's the general feelings re the pros and cons of these different turnouts?

Also, what about EZ manual turnouts? Will they work okay with EZ DCC powered trackage without special gaps and/or wiring needed?

And one more question?  -if I want to use code 100 flex track with  EZ nickel silver track, would cork roadbed bring the flex track up to the right height to match with the EZ's gray plastic roadbed stuff?  And if not, what's a good pre-fab roadbed that would?

Thanks for any assistance here,
Chazzlee ;>})
