So the ground tracks tie the outside rails together then? I did not know that. I could also solder them, correct (assuming thats what it does)?
100" wide may work, but it won't leave much clearance to the wall. length seems fine, although close.
yes, it does join both. The anti-derailing feature of the switches interrupts the rail continuity as well as which side of the track the lock-on is installed or the orientation of that terminal track.
Soldering a jumper will work. That's what we did at the museum layout.(250' of RealTrax and 15 switches) Made a bunch of jumpers, tinned the stripped ends. Tinned a drop on the track terminals and then attached them. I find that it provides better running.
