That's what the Icons are for, which Chris used.

Picked up my first pieces over the weekend.  It's great stuff.  Not code-40-perfect, but visually it looks good and functionally is a big step above the MTL flex track.  I can't wait to lay some track.

Maybe we'll finally start seeing more larger layouts in Z!  Track has been holding back the scale.

Is it easy to pull the rail out? Replace with C40  ;)

Should've counter-offered when he resigned and stole all the plans!

Nope. It's designed like the existing flex where one rail is molded in place.

Turnouts will help a *lot*. Drop-ins (~#5) for the all so many 2x3, 4x5 layouts with their 195/220m radii and a longer one for the mains.
I posted a summary comparison on Trainboard:
