thanks for replying.  I have been having trouble getting Atlas tracks.  It has been months without track.  I do not use roadbed under the atlas track, just paint the foam and glue the track down.  The news I have been hearing about the track shortage it will not be anytime soon for a supply of track.  I was hoping to find a tack made in the USA. 

 I have to find a new track company since atlas track is hard to find now a days.  A couple of questions about e-z track before buying any.

I know Bachmann is located in Philly, but is the e-z tracks made in the USA? 

Can e-z track connect to Atlas code 80 track all ready in place once brought up to the roadbed height?

Could the track be wired using block wiring? 

can the roadbed be removed to give more realistic look to tracks?
