I've decided to lay some rails at last and I'm planning on using Atlas Code 83 track products. Pretty sure I know how to handle flextrack but I'm very interested in hearing about any potential pitfalls regarding the custom line turnouts. This will be a shelf layout and I plan on using DPDT slide switches to throw the points, power the frogs, and illuminate a dwarf signal next to each turnout. Initially train operation will be by standard DC. The whole thing is pretty much an experiment on my part to see if I can hang with HO railroading. If not, I can still use the track components with On30. At my age it's all about vision.
Any insights you may offer are greatly appreciated.
