I purchased this book at my local hobby store. I have read through it and built the table for it. My questions is with the track selection. I have a regular Bachmann set. Would like to continue and take advantage of the Bachmann track I already have. The book used Unitrack and suggested Atlas also. I was wondering if anybody has completed this project and can shed some light on whether I can just continue with Bachmann track. Thanks for the help!

I’ve never used Bachmann track before, but unless it comes with its own roadbed attached, I don’t know why you couldn’t use it with Atlas. I remember looking at that book a year or two ago, but I don’t recall if it specified those one-piece rail/roadbed products. If not, I’d use Atlas sectional and flex track throughout. It’s pretty much an industry standard, and the engine and cars that came with your Bachmann set will run just fine on it.
