Question 1, I was unaware of the Menards brand fastrack transition pieces. Seems like you could adjust the position of the center cross tie and cut them in half to get one usable 5" transition from each.
OK. That will give me the four I need. Do you think they will look stupid in between Fastrack and a Gargraves switch. I guess I could add cross ties to the four Menards half transition sections to closer match the Gargraves switches. Or do you think I should just skip the entire hassle and pick up four 6-12040 Fastrack transition pieces? They aren't that expensive.

Question 2a, yes I was referring to the red pieces, if those are indicating 6-12040 Lionel brand Fastrack Transitions, I don't think those would be needed since there's no FasTrack anymore on the inner loop. I think a 5" tubular piece would work instead with the GG #801 track mating pins connecting to the switches.
You are right. They are Fastrack pieces I didn't substitute with Menards tubular. I'll fix that.
Question 2b, for the 21.75" straight on the upper inner loop, it seems that either Menard's or GG would work there, unless your supply of the GG #801 track mating pins is limited.
Thanks again,
John
