Thank you.
As everything is dismantled and the new one will be considerably larger, track will start from scratch. Will be using flex track and some pre-made turn outs, others will be Fast Tracks turnouts ( i am aware those are made for 2R turnouts). Have not yet decided on the brand of trackage. Sold off the previous sectional track to a local club.
Going with spline design track support structure for all the obvious benefit reasons.

Lead trucks generally require re-drilling and pressing operations. It is so easy that I have been known to do them in exchange for 2-rail trinkets and postage.
Thank you Bob2.
I will keep that in the front of my mind.
