I'm hoping that we can get a good supply of pictures and lists of equipment used in making N-scale E-Z Track layouts. So please show off your work and lets get a good base of projects that other newbies can use to start in this world that is Model Railroading. ;D
I don't use E-Z track, but would very much to see what people, and even non-people, have done with it.
I know that a modeler, (just recently deceased) known as Jeffery Wimbley, AKA, Running Bear, (on the MRR forum) used it for his HO layout. He always talked about how, yes, there were a few kinks, here and there, but it worked very well and saw no difference with other track systems after a twink or two.
I don't really know what track I will use for my next layout. It will all come down to what is available, track wise with each manufactures track system.
I'm finally in the planning stages for my new layout. It will not resemble anything in the real world. It will be called I think the Paradox rail line. The setting: someone was experimenting with time travel and somehow bits of the old world mixed with the new world. That's why you might see a '57 Chevy passing a 80's Mustang.
I don't use EZtrack for my layout but I had some laying around and built this for my son:
N scale for my son to play with.....

A large HO layout that I help out on.....I would have rather done flex track but he had the track and it has been running flawlessly for 5 years now so I can't complain.
