Well finally, thanks to Wounded Bear, I can post a link to my RTS file. I tried to create a layout using Atlas pieces that match EZ Track, but as you can see I have a couple of gaps and mismatched ends. Can I fudge these? Or can you suggest other EZ parts or...?

You apparently have to save the file before you can open it. Don't worry it's been check for viruses, but you might want to check again before opening.
Thanks

Now I see what you were trying to do. Here's an alternative method to posting the actual RTS file....if I may.
Open your RTS program......hit the "print screen" key. Open up your "paint" program in windows. (It's under accessories). Click on edit, then paste as new image. Size it down or up, save as a .jpg file.
Then you would upload to your Photobucket account or wherever you host, and link the image you created using it's URL and the image tags on this forum.
Kinda like this......

Or, simply target the image with no preview.....like this

You're welcome, and I have absolutely no idea if it will work or not......lol.
I'm not an EZ Track user, but I'm sure Terry or one of the others here will let you know shortly.

There is no good reason that I can see that it shouldn't work.You may have to do a little cutting and fitting where you can't buy pieces off the shelf but that is part of model railwaying whether you are using EZ track or flex track.
Don P.S I use Flex track
I would be using snap track but I'm already dollar commited to EZ track.
I would think it would work, your layout looks a lot like the one i found http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php/topic,4233.0.html
The layout photo i listed is actually spec'ed with e-z track.
Would only take some a few modifications to attain the layout you created.
Are you running DCC or DC? I have the dcc switches listed in my post and they are great. No extra wiring they just work with the e-z command system.

Thank you for that link again. I am looking more closely at some of the other layouts. I am using DCC and my goal is to run two trains at the same time, but have some switching and a mining opertions going.
