Had an N scale layout back in mid to late 80's. Now at 60 some years, gettin back into it. Last Thursday picked up on older ROCO set that came with a Bachmann EMD GP40 and four cars. There is enough Atlas track to build a 3'x5' layout. Yesterday found on Marketplace, three totes full of N scale and HO scale stuff. Most is N scale, which is what I'm going to build. A lot more track plus quite a few buildings. The track I picked up yesterday is Bachmann ez trac and Atlas. Can the Atlas track be combined with the ez trac.

Hi knucklebuster,

E-Z Track and traditional sectional track can be connected *if* the height of the rails (Code 80) are the same. You may find it easier to connect them by cutting the plastic clips off the E-Z Track.

Check for transitional rail joiners on the net.  In HO, I've used them between code 100 and code 83 rail.
