European style of ez track?

So while looking online for different brands of track to get for when I start my layout and knowing that it had to be U.k. like cuz that what Thomas is based off of, I was wondering why Bachmann doesn't try to make some of these types of turnouts like double slips and 3 way turnouts and etc in ez track form? It would even be nice to see an ez track form of flex track. Because of this lack of possibilities in track, I feel that I'm gonna need to go with track from PECO. Does anyone else feel the same way?

For anything prototypical that looks realistically like the United Kingdom, I would advise using PECO instead of EZ-Track. You don't see a lot of track options for EZ-Track because it's intentionally designed to be simple and easy to jump into for new modellers. Bachmann's EZ-Track was also made with American style layouts in mind, while the British style Thomas brand is secondary to the track offerings Bachmann provides.
