I mean the old ho track. The plain track. The ez track without the platform. just the rails and cross ties. Didn't know which was better for permanent layout. looks like most use the non ez track. I guess it is easier to get the authentic track look with rocks and such with the non ez. But didn't know what was more readily available and what was the cheaper route to go.

We got it figured out. Thanks.

Now just have to figure out our layout. I am thinking of deciding how to start around the roundhouse and branch out from it.
And should I use the "old" track or the new ez track?

Ok I'm dumb. Does the forth rail go to the main track and transformer that I currently have setup? Or do I put in a second transformer or does that hook up to the accessory line on the transformer?

Okay so my son who still loves thomas since he was 1 and will be 9 soon has all of the wooden thomas' and "found" bachmann thomas on youtube. He has been infatuated with it. So, for Christmas he got his first bachmann thomas set with of all things Tidmouth Shed. It has been since my childhood since I messed with bachmann. So here is my question. With the shed, how do I get power to the turntable so when an engine is turned off of the main track, there is still power to back the engine into the shed.
Another question might be any advice as we begin to brainstorm on track layouts and build around the shed. We will be adding 3 stalls for his birthday.

Oh, also should I stay with the ez track or go old school for a permanent layout.

Thanks in advance.
