Confused about code, tracks and hand laying

At least you won't be laying this kind of trackwork:

 

The Rokuhan flex track is half the length and twice the price than Peco. Rokuhan is hard to find in Sweden, and the one shop that seemed to have it, only had two different types of turnouts... and the crossover. I found plenty of reasonably priced used Märklin turnouts in our local variety of eBay.

For simplicity and budget reasons, I guess my only option is to adapt to Märklin and the limitation therein.

 

SJ Z-man,
Nice Jersey Central layout! And this post is helpful to first timers.
