So I am using Kato Unitrak and would like to use a cheap DCC system. If I must, I'll use an analog system, but please help me! I have a double-track layout (two main lines). Currently, I am using a Bachmann DCC EZ-Command system, and whenever a train passes over a curve, it stops. PLEASE HELP!

I like this idea, but the main focus of the layout is a passenger rail service. There is to be a town and whatnot, but as for the yard, all there will be is an engine facility. Like I said, my track plan had changed, and now I have to apply these changes.

Hey!
Glad to hear you're getting into the hobby. I've just made a selection of track for my layout, so I can relate. Considering you have half of the track you need, I would use the Bachmann EZ track. It's track, as opposed to Atlas, is made of nickel (?), so it won't tarnish. I know of a...

Your story is one in the same with my own. I already have the bulk of the track, and I got the yard yesterday. I use Kato Unitrack, because it is easy to buy, as they have many ad-on sets. And to all the other comments, all of them mean a lot! Thanks!

Glad to hear that!
I'd use a shelf-style, b/c It's way less of a hassle if a derailment happens.
