I've had and built home tracks with every type of plastic track commonly available. Eldon is the only one I haven't used. Before you get too far into this project, I would really consider switching to Revell or Monogram track. The up front cost is not all that bad and it is just a one time expense. The upside is better quality, both radi of curves are plentiful. Inner and outer aprons are also readily available. The slot is deep enough for commercial guide flags and the lane spacing is 3 1/2. Fine for 1/32, close but will work for 1/24 narrow cars. I'm not knocking Strombecker, just saying that before you get too far into this project, consider everything. Used track from Mono and Rev seems to have gotten cheaper the last few years as Carrera has become the gold standard in home tracks and more guys have gone to wood. Just my 2 cents, not knocking anybody else's stuff.
