The previous solder comment is manatory.
I use loc-tite construction adhesive to glue the cork and track down carefully.
I usually draw my track c/l on the board being carefull to have a smooth/constsnt radius curve. 18″ would be ok for your short locos. otherwise at least 24″.. This was my mistake on some of the layout.

I use digitrax superchief with 3 subpower controls and 16 blocks. The “block occupied” works great on the RR&Co computer program.

I have used most of the various turnout drives. The tortoise requires too much space under when there are three levels..BUT work great.

I have most all of the Digitrax and other control circuits for different operations. My signal lights work great but the Semaphores are a challenge.

I haven’t tried the transponding yet.
