Going 2 rail...questions thread!

Well guys it is decided...

I have been tossing and turning and wracking my brain trying to figure this whole thing out. And it just comes down to the fact that I feel I will never be truly happy in any form of 3R. Even if it is 3RS there will always be that one thing in the back of my mind. I was on youtube trying to find videos of O scale trains when I stumbled upon goingoscale's N&W videos and then "the fat lady sang" so to speak.

 

I guess all I need now is help!?!? I think I am going to try and handlay my track as Atlas flex track doesnt seem to be found in any sort of impressive quantities and when it is found it is hugely expensive. How hard is it to lay track? I know that I can buy fastracks jigs for turnouts and stuff but is it really hard? Is it worth it? I was looking at CWEX's blog and I must say his track is drop dead gorgeous! What sort of tools do I need to lay my own track? What parts should I order? Does anyone know of a step by step kind of site that I could follow along with? 

 

Maybe before I decide to buy a bunch of handlaying stuff I should try it out first. Would anyone be willing to sell me like 5 inches of ties/rail/ and spikes just to experiment with before I buy a whole bunch?

 

Sorry I know that I asked a lot of questions but any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel as if Iam going into this kind of blindly which isnt a great feeling, but I know that 2Rail is what will really make me happy! 

 

Thanks for everything!!!

Will
