I see what you are talking about.

The ez track roadbed it too high so I would raise the terrain under the rest of the track up even with the ez track and build the yard flat. I never thought about that.

I guess that's why my last yard never looked quite right. I used cork roadbed. It was functional but it never looked right.

I guess that's why it pays to ask questions before you spend money, lay track, stare at it, and then rip it up all over again.....

Thanks for the info.

I am contemplating building a new layout using ez track since there are so many items to work with now. I really like the look of the turnouts since the switch machine is built inside the turnout.

The only thing that would have held me back would be the inability to spot cars or have a yard.

Does Bachmann make a decoupling track for their HO EZ Track system with a permanent magnet or possibly an electromagnet?
