I just bought a used Bachmann Old Tyme Village Express set without the box.  I was wanting to do some track planning but i'm not sure what the factory numbers are for the straight, terminal, and 12 curve pieces.  i've been looking all over for something with track numbers but cannot find.  any help appreciated.  jeff

Currently, I have an o gauge layout.  on a 5' x 10' all i have is turns.  i just can't continue to build on.  i need to switch gears to a smaller scale.  I just got back from the black hills in south dakota and i'd like to model that area.  here are my requirements:
  i am interested in track that clicks together like fasttrack.  i stink at sodering, ect
  i need an "old timer" passenger train set
  i'd like sound.  i'm not into electronics so i'd prefer to just by a set and extra track

any suggestions?

thanks, jeff

what's the difference between the Nickel Silver E-Z Track® (with gray roadbed)  and the Steel Alloy E-Z Track® (with black roadbed)?  which one requires less "maintenance"?  In the past, I've laid the cheaper flex track and contantly have had problems with the track needing cleaned.  I'm looking for zero maintenance if at all possible.  wasn't sure if the nickel or steel alloy would be the way to go.
