I just got the Deluxe Commander set and want to get more track and switches. Is the Hobby Track Pack a good value? Ridgeroad Station has it for $57.75.
Before you buy a package deal you should decide how your layout is going to look. You may end up with pieces you will not use. I would check with Trainworl/Trainland ,Standard Hobbies , Wholesale Hobbies before I bought anything. You may find that that the individual pricing may be cheaper than a package.

Dear "Viejo,"
My son and I love to watch the WGH Track Pack video narrated by Michael Gross, the actor. It is beautifully directed and organized. I learned a wealth of tips from it. Most libraries have it for loan.
I believe the price you stated is the lowest I have ever seen, by a large margin. The layout is a "bent oval" with a passing parallel inside track on one side of the oval and an inside spur. The whole thing fits into a 4' x 8' area.
It uses Bachmann track on foam sheet construction so you can sculpt hills and lakes, etc. The time consuming part is building the models, IMHO.
Please take a gander at it and let me know what you think!
Best Wishes & Merry Christmas!
Jack
