Theres no reason you couldn't use 2', just consider that your scenery might be building flats rather than full buildings. Ross makes a full track system, its quite nice and USA made. The switches can be had in manual, and work with caboose throws. You could do it all out of atlas at well. Its just a matter of availability when you need it. Cut track with a dremel and a cut off wheel. 3 rail track is too big for a Xuron to handle. I think the xuron says up to code 100, but it will cut code 148. Atlas 3R track is code 215 and it would stand no chance. Also most 3R track hollow (except Atlas, Scaletrax and early production Realtrax), so you'd just crush it. I wouldnt waste the time on the realtrax. Just use one track system for all of it and save the trouble of all the rough running track transitions. Hollow rail realtrax can be cut and spliced back together with gargraves pins and soldering, but you need to get it real straight when you cut it so it goes back together well.
