Hi Leandro,

I have a few thoughts about working with Atlas track.

You don't really need the 40" Flex straights. They don't flex like HO track.

You can cut any track to a custom length or arc angle. Order item #6057 when you order the track. Those replace the ties when the track is cut and add the snap connectors.

Be sure to order enough extra rail joiners. Good to have in inventory.

Atlas doesn't ship the "short" switches any longer that are listed in the RRT library. Some have a removable piece included to make the "short" version

I believe that you would be happier with #5 turnouts for the crossovers.

Give the Atlas track planning software a try. It supports multiple languages. You may find it easier to learn.

#Carl, you're not the first person to tell me that! I'm going to use 054 and 063 is it best that I buy the curves already in the measure?

#Thanks for this tip I did not know and I will buy.

#Yes, I felt it in the old layout.

#But I can remove the straight as I have seen in some pictures.

#Sorry, but I did not understand.
