I have a lot of EZ track and I don't want to use any other type of track, so is there a solution to the poor operation and quality of the remote switches?  They are so sporatic right out of the box.  Is there another switch out there that is better and will work with the pre-wired remote turnouts?  Something beefier and consistent?

Is there  a reason that when i use a 90 degree crossing that only part of the figure 8 gets power?  Also I ran a large oval and used two turnouts to connect each side with a large diagonal lane running through the middle (basically a big "S" with an oval around it)and this layout will not work either.  Is there something I am missing?  Is it the track?  I run DCC with the digital commander set.  This is really frustrating.  I have spent lots of money trying to get the layout I want and now it is limited to nothing but circles and circles inside of circles.  Please help before I burn it all!  I guess my real question is...am I using the wrong track?  I have bought a lot of EZ track and would like to use it, but if it is more headache than its worth what is recommended?
