    I want to build a new layout, and have found a plan that I can use. But, it's built with Atlas sectional track. Can I use Atlas TRUE-TRACK instead?

    Most likely not. Atlas products do not use the same geometries from one type of track to the next. Their Code 80 track (which is probably what is used on the plan you found) is not the same as their Code 55 track. True-Track is different from both of these. You could use the plan you found as a rough guide and re-draw it using one of the readily available layout design programs.
