Doing a modular garage layout, using 32" x 80" interior doors for the benchwork, with a layer of 1" pink insulation foam on top.
Set up the first module, using the "World's Greatest Hobby" N scale track pack, and additional track and switches (Total of 8 switches on this module)
Ran a Bachmann GP50 and a GP40 with consists through a track test, and.....it works...GREAT! Even ran a Spectrum big steam loco and tender through all the routes, without any problems. Not a problem to be seen, at any speed, forward or reverse!
Very happy. Nice work, Bachmann!
Tonight, I will try Test number two, using the power for the switches.
Used plastic rail joiners and a controller to have a passing track and the sidings seperately powered (my sidings convert to regular snap track, as I didn't want roadbed except for the mainlines)
Anyhoo, it works! Now wish me luck that all switches run fine remotely, and then it's time for phase 2: permanently affixing the track to the board!
Yay!
BTW, I will post picks of my weathering and ballasting system for EZ track. Looks pretty darn good and is quick and easy.

UPDATE: 7 for 7 on the remote switchces so far! Had to stop before wiring the eighth to make it to watch football, but I'm confident in that last one working great! YESSS!
OK! Here is good luck!
Will be waiting for pictures. ;D
