I think I will take all of the track off of the layout I bought and start fresh, for a layout that size it dosen't have any switching, the person who made it must of really liked to run trains due to the 4-track mainline 
. The person who made it combined a 5x8, and a 4x7 sheet of plywood to make the layout, he also built the benchwork to withstand an earth quake, he placed a 2x6 every few inches underneath 
. I am thinking of building a modified version of the "California and comstock" layout from the june 2007 issue of Model Railroader, I like the plan since it has nice scenery, some switching, a small yard, and a turntable.
About those switches, I will have to try putting in those feeder wires, there is nothing more embarrassing then showing off a layout and then realizing that the engine won't run
