Thanks Guys...I have since converted the left side of the inner space into a Sand Dune Oval using four 9-inch curves, four 6-inch curves, and four 9-inch straights. It's a bullring within a figure 8!
Yes, HO is a lot of fun to work with and I have become a HUGE fan of Atlas track. I have noticed that Aurora track bends and does not lay flat compared to Atlas. Even Lionel track, which is interchangeable with Atlas is superior to Aurora. The problem is Aurora has a few specialty sections that I wish Atlas had - the bridge section that allow cars to elevate up one level (or more if you use them in series). And cobblestone. I love the look, feel, and sound of cobblestone track.
I have managed to accumulate a reasonable collection of Atlas and Lionel track (with lots of joiners) that should satisfy me for a while at least. And yeah, I am starting to look at my "completed" 1/32 collection of cars and realize I only want to keep the Slot.Its and potentially trade the Flys for HO cars...uh-oh, it's deja vu all over again!!!
Cheers,
Mike
PS - I will be updating my website link below to include more HO layout stuff to help those in the future for references and pictures of these older track systems.
