I had one of the Atlas sets, also. It was the one with the Grand Prix cars. Unfortunately, the plastic track didn't hold up too well to the "oil of wintergreen" that I used on the rear tires of the cars that I ran at the commercial track....

All Atlas track was actual 1/32, by 60's standards, the slots were only 3 1/2 inches apart. True 1/24 track has 4 inch lane centers. The only 1/24 track with slots deep enough for commercial guide flags was Marx.

Wow, I missed the post with the latest 1/24 3 lane layout above. I wish I could get my hands on some of this stuff. I think I will stick with my Fleischmann for now. If I can pick up some cheap Marx 1/24, I'll try that as well.
