Or you could get their 3-rail track and remove the middle rail like I did and run battery power remote control.

 

Ross is the best IMO, even their curved track (they don't make flex track).  The rail is held on by glue and small spikes and can be easily pulled up.

 

Yes, Gargraves and Ross tracks are compatible and for 2-rail hi-rail operations easily to join the outer rails with two pins. Gargraves has ready 2-rail flexible tracks and even 2-rail (manual and RC) switches with 72" or 100" turnouts alternatively. But removing the phantom center rail from Gargraves 3-rail tracks is painful and not recommended, because the sensitive wood ties will be surely damaged. On the other hand Ross 3-rail tracks are manufactured in a different way, therefore much easier to remove the glued center rail. Any way, the block sections should be electrically separated through plastic pins, when operating 2- and 3-rail in parallel on the same layout using AC and DC transformators simultanously.
